    Apesar de todo el Hate que recibió el juego por ser Diferente a lo que estábamos acostumbrados , no deja de ser un gran título
    Desde la profundidad de este , hasta la simbólogia , gráficos , jugabalidad , Accesibilidad , entorno , banda sonora , sonido etc.
    Es hermoso en este juego
    Es lamentable saber que la comunidad gaming no está preparada para juegos de este calibre y narrativa...
    Naughty Dog se fue por el camino difícil
    Logrando conseguir una Narrativa espectacular

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was able to enjoy this fresh without being spoiled anything. But this story is amazing for what it IS. A lot of people are disillusioned by the fact that it's not what they wished it was. Trying to empathize with some of the characters is necessary. It's necessary to try and empathize in a meta-way because we play as Ellie, who at the end, learns to empathize with and forgive Joel. She says "I'd like to try [to forgive Joel]" and the same is being done for Abby.

    There are legitimate criticisms of the game. The pacing is all over the place, and the marketing is misleading. There is also the criticism that Joel let his guard down. All those things make this a very flawed game like any other. There were plot armor examples in the first game too (a little girl like Ellie with no combat experience being able to fend off tens of hunters and protect Joel when he is wounded at the university, for one). But just like the first game, which had a more airtight plot overall, I think it's important to enjoy the game for what it IS despite its flaws. The gameplay is imperfect in both the first and second game (with the jump button being clunky).

    However, a game like TLOU part II elevates telling bold stories with emotion and trying to make a player feel emotions like never before to a new level. Although it's flawed, the sheer experience this game provides should be experienced by every Ps4 owner    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Having played the game for a while now The Last of Us Part 2 brings a whole new iteration to the franchise however, I felt as though something was missing from it in order for it to compete to the level of the first one.

    The improved combat system and level design made the game immersive and responsive to the players actions. The amount of detail that was in the levels were one of the most detailed I have seen in some time especially within this current generation of games. The physics of the foliage overgrowing on buildings to blood trails in the snow made the players character feel more attached to the environment like reality to provide that immersive experience along with the detailed special sound incorporated within it. Another great part to highlight is the combat system and how that incorporates itself within the games levels, this made the players experience feel more unique as your finishers sometimes incorporated smashing enemies through windows or using objects within close proximity to finish them off utilising the environment and surroundings effectively.

    Now I've got the positives out of the way here are some of the negatives in which I think had impacted the game a lot and have caused me to give the score I have given. Having one of the main protagonists die by one of the players characters made an intense and powerful story but unfortunately the execution of the killers character felt forced upon and that majority of the story with Abby feels as though Naughty Dog are trying to push you for sympathy of her actions. Due to a large portion of the game is played by her it kind of takes away what the whole story should have been about. From what I can see it looks as though many changes were made throughout the development which then caused the game to feel rushed in some parts which is quite disappointing as there was great potential there.

    Overall, it’s not a bad game but don't go in there playing it with high expectations as you may be disappointed.    … Expand

Aí começa uma jornada maravilhosa com a Ellie com vários momentos marcantes e matando muitos dos que faltavam para sua vingança, faltando basicamente a então vilã do jogo, Abby, porém ela que acaba encontrando Ellie e até então ela iria mata-lá, nesse momento que o jogo faz uma coisa única e que me surpreende completamente, ele nos faz jogar com a Abby e mostra o seu lado na história, me deixando puto de início por que eu a odiava mas já no início de sua gameplay já nos mostra o por que de seu ódio ao Joel, Abby era filha do cirurgião que Joel matou, já fazendo a gente gostar mais da personagem, e no desenrolar da trama nós já estamos gostando muito da Abby e não querendo que ela morra e voltamos a parte que ela iria matar a Ellie e deixa ela viver entendendo que a vingança não iria resolver nada e a perdoando, Ellie acaba se estabilizando com Dina e vivendo normal mas não deixa a vingança de lado e parte para voltar e tentar acabar com Abby fazendo um final impactante e maravilhoso. The Last of us part 2 é um jogo incrível e te trás uma experiência diferente e jamais vista nos vídeo games, em quesitos de história, gameplay, jogabilidade é quase perfeito e pra mim não há nenhuma outra nota possível a não ser um 10.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Naughty Dog took major risks in this game. Knowing they would shake their fanbase to the core, they took these leaps anyway. Right out the bat, they kill off a main character whom we've know and grew to love over the past 7 years. Brutally murdered in front of Ellie the game sets out to be a revenge story. As the player progresses through the story, thoughts and opinions change. The three days in Seattle are thrilling, horrifying, and emotional. Just as Ellie is making her rounds on the people who killed Joel, the player feels a satisfaction. But I saw this monster Ellie was becoming, and so did she. After killing Abby's close friends and former lover, the game resets and you play as Abby. It was an interesting way to approach the villain, as the player creates bonds with Abby and all of her friends you know Ellie will kill later on. Just when I thought it was over, it went on a bit longer. Although I can see why some may not like the ending, I was satisfied. The games main theme for me was forgiveness. Ellie struggles with this not only for Abby but also with Joel. Going through a lot of pain, Ellie changed as a person and changed for the better.

    Gameplay was outstanding. The amount of times I'd be in shock over the brutality of the gameplay was common. Enemies would cry out for their friends after seeing their head blown off. Even killing a dog had an emotional impact. The level design and world it takes place in were beautiful. Lots of exploration to do and many interesting things to witness. Many ways to approach enemies gave a sense of strategy and depth to the gameplay.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I ask myself:
    But who has set up TLoU part 2, has ever played the first? I don't say in writing, I wonder, did Druckmann start from the TLoU script or from the 2013 TLoU final game? Because I have the impression that Druckmann did not play it
    the game of 2013, let alone Part 2.
    As a videogame player I feel fooled.
    The game is written with such superficial content and pretexts that I wondered throughout the game: Ok but when does the plot start to mesh?
    When does this stupid paradoxical comedy end?
    Did Druckmann take into account that the players think while they play and know after 2 hours that he is throwing on the fire badly explained and intentionally incomplete events to keep this clown standing up?
    The player knows very well what Joel rightly leads to making the final choice, and he knows equally well that Druckmann omits in all this initial reconstruction the Terrorist behavior of the fireflies towards Joel.
    They created Part 2 of a very different story, where Marlene (Ellie's adopted mother) totally comes from the girl.
    The player realizes that the whole part played with Abby is exposed to make her put on the same level as Ellie, but at the same time the player sees the events that are totally exposed in the opposite way, Abby always kills in cold blood, would kill everyone at the Cabin and even at the theater, only Owen and Lev prevent her from doing so.
    Ellie instead always tries to get to Abby looking for information, but the enemies always react by attacking her instead of indulging her.
    Anyone realizes that this way of writing is not inspired at all, but is simply ridiculous.
    Reflection: many already speak of TLoU part 3 and wonder what it could be, now that this useless Part 2 has badly consumed the whole cast.    … Expand

    And what did you do with such a masterpiece? You **** demolished and wrecked it, because it is politically correct (see a doctor please), because there isn't Joel as active character (are you 12 y/o?) and history didn't flow as you expected (are you 12 y/o and do you need to see a doctor?), because it has narrative inconsistencies (see a doctor #3) and, most of all, because it's a trend to insult it (i don't speak because i would get in big trouble).

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am with the party that heavily disliked the direction and execution the writers decided on for TLOU2 at the start of the game (I did spoil myself). However, as I played through the game there were points where we could get a sense of what the writers wanted to achieve by creating a dual narrative with moral ambiguities between Ellie and Abby, such that in certain perspectives you can see their actions as justified - righteous even. However, their execution on this matter was criminally poor.

    Before I delve deeper into the story and characters I do want to say that the gameplay, sound design, and graphics were fantastic. Each melee attack had its distinctive weight depending on the make-shift weapon used, the enemy AI was intelligent and fair and the level design as a whole was done well. The ambience of each environment was distinctive and the infected noise and enemy callouts were pivotal in allowing a 3-D in one's mind. The sharpness of the textures, quality of shadows, each movement of the character models were slick and smooth. Nothing was revolutionary in these departments per se but their quality was of the highest level that one would expect for a triple AAA game, no less a Naughty Dog title.

    The most controversial part of TLOU2 was the brutal death of Joel very early on in the game and this is where all of the inconsistencies and perplexities stemmed from. First off, it feels weird that Abby would seek her revenge on Joel the moment he and his brother saved her from the infected, even considering the hatred she has for him for killing her father about 5 years prior.
    But then why would she brutally beat Joel? From the gameplay we play as Abby later on she doesn't feel like a person that would have so much pent-up rage. Moreover, why keep Ellie and Tommy alive? Abby and Co. can't seriously believe that those two wouldn't want to get their own revenge, especially for how brutally Joel was killed. I reiterate the fact that Joel was brutally killed because none of us wanted Joel to die that way, we wanted a heroic death if anything (on a side note the brutality of Joel's does set a good tone for the type of gore we would expect later on). However, what some of us might have forgotten or neglected to realise, that the game does explore through Ellie and Abby is that Joel's action at the end of TLOU was monstrous. He effectively sacrificed the lives of many for his surrogate daughter. This is a point that the game wants us to have when balancing the moral ambiguities between Ellie and Abby, but again throughout the game, we get introduced to groups of people like the Seraphites and slave traders, undermining Joel's decision.
    So then what, surely it would be better to save what loved ones you have in a world where only a small proportion of the people left are actually worth saving.

    I could go on but this contentious point on Joel's death was what I wanted to focus on. Overall, TLOU2 had great potential, I applaud the writers at least for their gall to create something like this but unfortunately, they miserably missed their mark.    … Expand

    El juego es perfecto, transmite emociones como nadie. El punto para ser perfecto se lo quito por la credibilidad que pierde la narrativa en la última mitad del juego, entrando en temas que están muy metidos con calzador y de forma un poco torpe y algo simplona.

The music in these games are as incredible as always. The story is not as good as the previous game but still is a great story with the message being FORGIVENESS! Not this revenge = bad **** that people are throwing around the place, if you really think that is the only reason the game is bad or the game is bad because of certain spoilers... then I don't know what to say to you anymore... I think Ellie and Abby's side of the story is great bringing humanization to Abby, and "justice" for Ellie. I think the best part of the game is probably the ending, it just says so much, and i had such a blast playing this game. overall this game gets a 9/10

    Edit: Coming back to this game now that I've platinumed it, I think that it is even better than when I originally played it! The Combat is fun and **** brutal enough to make you think you are in a life or death gun fight. The Story is really well written and executed, and you could make the excuse that the pacing is what makes this game bad, but the pacing and plot of this game is supposed to be messy. It is a revenge narrative coming from two sides of the same coin, of course the plot is gonna be all over the place that's the whole point! The Music in this game is BEYOND PERFECTION. There is music for the combat which makes you even more intense, and music for the emotional story-beats which on its own tells a whole story by itself. The Characters are extremely well written and I think that it's genius! The AI is also so **** advanced, I think this is the best AI I've had in a game. The Companions are genuinely helpful when you're in fights, the enemy AI is really advanced and fun! The zombie AI is a bit dumb but again zombies are dumb so y'know. Overall playing this game more and more just makes me love it so much more! In my opinion, this is the closest video-games will get to perfection! I'm excited to see what else Naughty Dog releases next, and I'm giving this game my first ever 10/10.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have finished the Last of Us Part II and I must say this really got me. The mechanics, the graphics and the sound are great. The way you interact with the environment makes tlou2 a very realistic and immersive experience of its own kind. However the main aspect of games like the last of us, the story, is really bothering me. The story pretty much starts off with Joel’s death. His death had a very powerful effect on me and most people probably. This death had such a powerful effect not only because of the fact that it is Joel who they killed, it’s also the way he got murdered which bothered me a lot. Later the character who killed him, Abby, was also the one we played for half of the game. This part of the game was a way to make us sympathize with Abby, but it didn’t really let me do that. For the entirety of her part, I couldn’t care less for what Abby experienced, let alone even having any kind of sympathy for this character. It was the opposite: Every time I died as Abby, I got happy, I cheered. The Ellie part compensates until a certain point for the failure of the Abby part, but only until Ellie becomes the one who is the most lost. The ending is the ultimate height of futility. What is it even worth trying and fighting for? That’s a question not only Ellie has to ask herself, but also the player. What is even the point in playing if every action leads to more loss and loneliness? Perhaps this is what Naughty Dog tried to accomplish and if it were the case, then perhaps they had the wrong goal in mind.… Expand

    Considera que si vas a comprar este juego, estás comprando una historia, historia que está perfectamente escrita de principio a fin, personajes memorables, escenarios impecables y muy bien construidos.

    Sin embargo, son 2 Los aspectos que en mi opinión no le dieron el 10 a mi puntuación jaja

    1. Un punto algo contradictorio pero destacable. El juego no ofrece nada nuevo. Las mecánicas y el sistema de juego es exactamente el mismo, sin embargo eso me deja pensando en lo bien construidas y pensadas que estaban las mecánicas desde el primer juego que, de cualquier forma... Tras varias horas de juego, se convierte un poco tedioso y pesado seguir jugando. Pero como ya lo mencioné antes, en lo que estás gastando tu dinero es en una historia.

    2. Un grave error de narrativa y la que considero la única crítica válida de los usuarios; la muerte de Joel. Que fue tan simple y poco digna, hizo que se opacara el transcurso de la historia, haciéndome cuestionar a lo largo del juego, "¿Cómo es que eso no pudo haber pasado antes?".

    Cómo sea, está es una obra impecable que no merece el odio de los usuarios, usuarios ingenuos que priorizan cosas que no se relacionan con el juego. De cualquier forma yo seguiré esperando ansiosamente TLoU3.    … Expand

    I absolutely love the last of us 2, it's my favorite game. The post apocalyptic world, the action, the brutality, the emotions, the unraveling story and character development it's all just perfect. If you like a movie type game, beautiful graphics and animations, with incredibly satisfying gameplay in a violent world... This is the game for you.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Firstly I absolutely adored the first game, probably one of my top games ever. So this game already had huge shoes to fill, which probably worked against it in the reviews as the bar was set extremely high. Is this game as good as the first game? I would have to say no. But it stands on its own as a very good game, up there with the best of this generation. I will say that the open world aspects of the game were massively overhyped as you only encounter one area where this occurs early on in the game. This was probably the most enjoyable area and I would have liked more of this. Otherwise you have levels which are fairly linear. I also feel combat was fairly overhyped as it is not vastly different than the first game and is not much of an evolution. Combat however is still fun, a bit more variety in combat and openness in levels would have made this game even better. Ultimately the game is about mans darker nature and how it corrupts everything around it. This game is especially concerned with exploring the idea of moral grey areas and humanizing ones enemies. In real life there are no cartoonish villains, each person has their own rationalizations and motivations and naughty dog wanted to highlight this aspect of human nature. Naughty dog wanted to take you on a journey from hating someone to being able to understand someone. Reflecting all of this internal struggle is the different external factions at war with one another, pushed to the brink of survival. The game is concerned with asking the broader questions about human nature and what choices we will make in regards to one another. Will we choose to continue on a path of hatred, violence and revenge even though it destroys our lives - or are we going to rise above those decisions? Spoiler part - Having loved the first game so much it was definitely hard to lose Joel so quickly, however I feel it was a natural progression and consequence from the last game. It is easy to justify the killing of cannibals or one dimensional villains, but that is not reflective of actual human nature or reality and doesn't provoke any deeper reflection regarding our actions. This game is able to take us on an emotional journey a lot of games do not and judging by its polarizing reception, its clear that it was successful at provoking the emotions it intended. Anyone who would give this game zero to one stars is not being reasonable by any stretch of the imagination.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The graphics are amazing it is amazing how much naughty dog is able to has bee able to do with only a couple years breathtaking!

    The mechanics feel good and the crafting feels better then ever however I feel that crafting cost way too materials you need to have I only managed to craft very few things in the very long run time and it was very annoying having to start again with different weapons

    Now the game play gun mechanics are smooth its so satisfying to beat a solider to death with a crowbar and blow off someone head with a shotgun BUT the encounters are very repetitive and the design is very confusing and aggravating. The infected are just terrifying I always try my best to be stealthy around them. One last thing is that I think that it was very idiotic for Naughty Dog to not give us a full auto gun until the end of the game AGAIN but overall I liked the game-play and It is much better then the first one
    Overall 8/10.

    Now The Story........ buckle up because I have a lot to say about this

    In my completely Bias opinion the story is a complete DISASTER insulting the first one everyone adored with all their hearts while giving us character I COULD NOT GIVE A **** ABOUT

    where do I start where do I even begin I know lets start of with the greatest insult Joel and how he is handled instead of giving him an emotional send off like he deserves we decide to just ****ing beat him to death with a ****ing GOLF CLUB like not even just shooting him and being done And I will talk about the person who did this later

    The main reason this game failed was of the structure and how embarrassing it is who taught it would be a good idea to play halfway of the game as Ellie and then decide to play the next half as Abby like are you ****ing kidding me

    we are going to talk about Ellie my favorite character of this **** while she is nothing like she used to be she definitely has the best ark of her slowly losing her herself the deeper she goes into to Seattle and if the story put that as there main focus this review would of been a lot different BUT when you have TEN HOURS of ****ing dumb ass Abby **** you really begin to lose interest in well...... just about everything still...... of the game saves it from being the worst game story I have ever experienced.

    Now...... we come to Abby the bane of my existence now before we come to tearing her apart I will give naughty dog points for even trying to get you to sympathize with her but they did it so badly and the main reason is that Abby never shows any remorse for killing Joel so how are we supposed to sympathize with her if she is never sorry for her bad action and yeah you could say " well Joel stopped the fireflies from creating a cure to save Ellie and never felt sorry " the big difference is that Joel killed out of love Abby did for Revenge and once again you could say "Ellie killed for revenge just as Abby did" however Ellie does show remorse for the people she killed and Abby didn't and her story is so boring but that not the character Abby's fault its something far worse...........

    Now we come to the side character and they are terrible Dina is okay I guess but she does not interest me more then a horse buddy I can't tell you a damn thing about Jesse because he is not given enough character development, I really thought Tommy would be a huge part of the game but if you removed him there would be no difference, Lev and Yara are the worst characters I have ever played in a video game they are so boring and annoying constantly wasting your time one of them is a tranny imagine being in a Zombie apocalypse and being like "I'm gonna just change my gender" I never forgot Sam and Henry, Bill, Tess and Tommy I forgot most of these ****ers names the minute I finished this embarrassment

    The tone of this game is just mindless depression I always felt so disappointed while playing it felt like a Abby entire story line feels like a way to long walking dead episode while the first half i wasn't sure what to make of it the second half I just felt dead just wanting to finish the finish truly just disappointed

    Some people think it a masterpiece some people think it strayed to far from its roots, me... I just think its **** I would of liked a depressing story but they ruined it with bad structure characters (apart from Ellie)
    and so many plot holes the ending is insulting and dumb and all of you high and mighty **** who think people who don't like the game are just Bigots you are IDIOTS naughty dog has a lot of work to do to save this franchise

    lowest ranking was in Abby Seattle day 1 was a two and the highest was in Ellie's Seattle day 2 was a seven but overall 4/10 And that being generous    … Expand

Most people wanted a copy or something very similar to the first. They wasn’t going to do that. I found myself being shocked about the route I was taking or they was making me take. I hated Abby and couldn’t wait to get to kill her. Then when I was taking charge of her I didn’t want to. By the end I wanted her to live and take lev to the fire flys. I wanted Ellie to just cut her down and get in the boat and walk away. That’s the only change I would make to this game. She would just get in the boat not say a word and leave instead of the fight that ensues. By killing Joel they wanted to give you the ammunition to fight for revenge when abbys fight for revenge has the same right to be heard. Also away for story it also has improved the combat and other game mechanics ten fold. It’s a great sequel and that’s just what is a sequel. It’s doesn’t take away from how great the first one was.

    На самом деле игра не так уж и плоха, если смотреть с точки зрения подачи сюжета и геймплея.

Эту игру стоит пройти как квинтесенцию всего поколения PS4. Но для меня это 7 из 10 ибо сколько можно делать игры про зомби-апокалипсис, где надо ползать на животе с 1 патроном в пистолете.… Expand

    Despite all of the stigma surrounding The Last of Us Part II, it's not nearly as bad as people would lead you to believe. First things first; is it as good as the first game? Absolutely not.

First things first; is it as good as the first game? Absolutely not. Even the people praising this game will admit that, in terms of the story it has to tell, it doesn't quite live up to that of the original TLOU. It was, however, most likely the best sequel that we could hope for. Everybody will agree that this game excels in most regards. The graphics are breathtaking and arguably the best on the market right now, the music is masterful, the gameplay offers everything that the first game did and then some, and the actors involved put on an outstanding performance and really brought the characters to life. Nobody gripes about those (and nobody gives the game credit for them, either, unfortunately.) The real problem most people have is with the story.

    I would first like to clarify that it is not, by any means, a bad story. I will accept the argument that it is painfully underwhelming, because it doesn't compare to the first game's story, but it's not BAD per se. I went into this game with low expectations after hearing what everyone online was claiming, but I was pleasantly surprised. I ended up thoroughly enjoying the game. It's a bit slow to start, but the gameplay immediately roped me in. Even if you're the type of person who is disappointed by the plot and thinks that it's painfully mediocre or even bad, I would still say that the game is worth playing solely for the other things it has to offer (music, gameplay, visuals, etc). The story is definitely very different from The Last of Us 1, but during my play through, I was still engaged for all of it. Demanding that the quality of the sequel's story is on par with or exceeds that of the original game is asking too much, but the story this game presents is more than serviceable. The dual-narrative experience brings more to the table than your traditional, run-of-the-mill revenge story. and it forces you to empathize with characters who you would ordinarily vilify and allows you to see the events of the game through a completely different perspective. Across both narratives, the pieces of the plot gradually fall into place over the course of this slow-burning game, and in typical TLOU fashion, everything finally clicks together in a gritty conclusion that actually feels faithful to the cruel and unforgiving world that the game has constructed.

    At the end of the day, the game still seems to be a hit-or-miss. It still feels like The Last of Us, but some are disappointed with the plot. I would say that it's most likely due to how different it is from the first. All I can give is my personal experience, which was much more positive than many of my friends' experiences who also played through the game. If you enjoyed the gameplay of the first game, you will certainly enjoy the gameplay of TLOU2. The music fits the environment eerily well, and if nothing else, is at least worth a listen to on YouTube. The visuals are still stunning. If you end up enjoying the story like I did, you'll have a wonderful time with the game. If the story disappoints you, you'll most likely have an underwhelming and mediocre experience. I can only speculate, but I'd reckon that the reason people are so upset by this game is because it is not quite on the same level as they've come to expect by something with "The Last of Us" in the title. The story is more complex, and the characters aren't as fleshed out as they were in the first. The game takes some bold liberties with the plot, and if you're not eager to open your mind up to a little bit to change in how the series conveys its message differently than it did in the first, then this game may not be for you. The main thing dragging it down in most people's minds is likely the fact that it's a game related to TLOU. If this were a standalone game and its own IP, people would likely be much more fond of it, but some are not fans of the changes that were made.

    I would like to reiterate that I personally enjoyed the game very much, and don’t think it was detrimental to the franchise. I'm giving it a 9/10. It was definitely a game worth playing, but how well it lands is largely dependent on the player and how open they are to the risky developments that Naughty Dog has taken with the franchise. Either way, I would recommend playing it. It's not The Last of Us 1 by any means, but it's still a good game that I will likely play again at some point in time.    … Expand

    The Last of Us Part II is overall a good game. People’s biggest problem with this game is the storyline.

People’s biggest problem with this game is the storyline. The story isn’t the greatest, and it can seem pretty inconsistent in terms of character development. None of the characters are really memorable or even likable. This is a big issue when compared to the first game’s amazing story and characters. The gameplay is pretty linear, although there are some more “open” moments in the game where you can explore and learn more about the world’s history. Overall, the story and characters are rather lame and forgettable. The gameplay is pretty consistent the whole game. There’s a cutscene, then some walking around/exploring, then an action/stealth section where you have to fight (or sneak) to the next part of the level, and repeat. I can see how people can find this repetitive and monotonous. HOWEVER, this game has some of the BEST action moments in any video game. The combat and gunplay is so fun and it allows the player to be creative in how they take our their enemies. The enemy AI is amazing, the way they interact with one another to find and kill you is some of the best in any action game. The action/combat sequences in this game make you feel like you’re playing an action movie. The gore, graphics, and sounds are all very realistic. The replay value is actually pretty high because there’re many different ways you can get through the combat sections. Also, the settings in the game are pretty cool too. It allows you to customize your gameplay experience in ways I’ve never experienced in a video game. Overall, this game is GOOD. It’s not the best, or even Game of the Year material. The first game is far superior (although Part II has better AI and combat). The fact that the story isn’t great hurts this game a lot because it’s a very story-driven game. You can’t control the outcomes of anything you’re merely playing through the story... and it’s not a good one. If I were to rate this game on the action and combat moments alone it would be a 10/10. However, with the weak storyline and characters this game is a solid 7/10.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Of Us 2 é literalmente uma obra de arte, eu não conseguir receber o jogo na semana do lançamento e sinceramente eu fiquei preocupada com o jogo em questão de história, mas depois de jogar eu percebi que essa chuva de hate nas avaliações do jogo são no mínimo de pessoas que não jogaram ou não conseguiram entender a história. As críticas são na maioria bem rasas e escritas de maneiras bem superficiais, por exemplo a morte de Joel, eu vi muita gente falando que ele morreu de uma forma bem merda em relação a maneira que ele agia no primeiro jogo, a situação que a Naughty Dog criou foi claramente proposital, dois irmãos cercados por uma horda de zumbis salvam uma estranha e aceitam ir com ela a um local seguro ao invés de morrer em questão de minutos, único erro foi ele ter citado o próprio nome, o jeito que ele morreu foi feito daquele maneira pra te deixar com raiva, o jogo dá metade do seu tempo pra você entender que só porque você jogou um tempo com o Joel em a Ellie não quer dizer que a escolha que ELES fizeram é necessariamente a correta, não existe herói nem vilão, a Ellie não fez todo aquele caminho a toa. O jogo inteiro mostra de diversas maneiras e simbologias diferentes que matar a Abby não vai levar a nada, tanto quanto a morte do Joel não diminuiu a dor que a Abby sentia pela morte do pai e continuou tendo os mesmos pesadelos, e se você parar pelo menos por um segundo pra pensar o trauma da Abby querendo ou não deveria ter sido bem maior do que o da Ellie, alias além de ter perdido o próprio o pai, o Joel tirou dela a sua família e a Ellie seus amigos, e depois de tudo isso a Abby ainda conseguir ter a virtude do perdão, eu não disse que o Joel é o vilão da história, mas no ponto de vista da Abby é a conclusão mais razoável que uma pessoa pode tomar, todo mundo que jogou o primeiro jogo consegue entender os motivos do Joel e jogando essas horas com a Abby se você não for uma pessoal totalmente egocêntrica você consegue entender o lado da Abby

    Minhas notas finais do jogo são
    gráficos 10/10 - PS4 PRO
    Red Dead Redemption 2 e TLOU 2 conseguem juntos alcançar o título de os jogos com os melhores gráficos do século.
    história 10/10
    jogabilidade/combate 10/10
    Conseguiram resgatar alguns aspectos do primeiro jogo e adicionar novos, como o silenciador e algumas novas armas, já em relação ao combate é bem mais difícil que o primeiro jogo, bem mais aberto e flexível, as dificuldades condizem com as escolhidas.
    trilha sonora 10/10
    De verdade se eu tivesse dinheiro eu faria uma estátua do Santaolalla e o Mac Quayle deixaria na meu quarto, meu amigo que trilha sonora perfeita, combina muito bem com os ambientes escolhidos e é bem agradável.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Scrivere una recensione per questo gioco é molto difficile. Più difficile di qualunque altro gioco perché questo The last of us parte II riesce a regalarti emozioni che prima d'ora non avevo mai provato giocando ad un videogioco. Ma devo provarci, provare ad essere oggettivo conservando comunque un po' di soggettività. Solo l'aspetto tecnico lascia a bocca aperta e sembrerebbe essere il migliore della generazione (e fa ridere il fatto che sia su Ps4). I paesaggi sono incredibili e le animazioni rivoluzionarie. Per non parlare poi delle musiche (Gustavo ci sa fare). Per quanto riguarda il gameplay sono riusciti a mantenere la base del primo evolvendola esponenzialmente. In questo gioco ci sono infatti molte più possibilità di approccio al nemico, anche solo la parte stealth dall'essere semplicemente il soffocare gente del primo capitolo si é evoluta aggiungendo molte più possibilità tra cui tutte le armi silenziate e l'erba alta e bassa (che comunque trattandosi di un gioco realistico non copre integralmente). Inoltre le mappe sono molto più grandi e rifinite. Muoversi con Ellie é molto più divertente (per via del salto e altre possibilità di interazioni ambientali) e l'intelligenza artificiale é talmente ben fatta da far sentire l'odore di next gen. Parliamo infine della storia facendo spoiler. La trama di questo gioco é esattamente come il primo... semplicissima. E allora perché entrambi i titoli ci fanno emozionare così tanto? Per la narrazione e i personaggi. Da una semplice storia di vendetta infatti Naughty dog é riuscita a tirar fuori una storia profonda e matura come poche altre prima d'ora. Il gioco é infatti pieno zeppo di scene che ti fanno rabbrividire. Prima fra tutte la morte di Joel, la scena per cui molti utenti hanno distrutto il gioco. Perché é stato così? Forse semplicemente per la morte di Joel? Anche, ma non solo. Il motivo é sopratutto il modo in cui é avvenuta, attraverso una vera e propria tortura. Tutti appena l'abbiamo vista volevamo uccidere Abby, la genialità di Naughty Dog é stata proprio farci diventare Abby, all'inizio nessuno voleva, nessuno voleva essere l'assassino di Joel, eppure, dopo alcune ore ti appassioni profondamente alla sua storia e ai suoi amici ed inizi a dubitare delle azioni di Ellie. E poi pensateci... davvero preferivate la morte di Dina (come tutti ipotizzavamo dai trailer)? Non avrebbe avuto molto senso, far morire un personaggio che neanche conoscevamo e far girare tutto intorno a quello. Non sarebbe stata una motivazione altrettanto forte per farci andare avanti.
    Una delle cose che più ho apprezzato del gioco sono i flashback di Joel, queste scene, così spenzierate, sono la chiave del gioco, sopratutto quella finale, che trasforma tutto il gioco in una storia sul perdono e non sulla vendetta. Il finale per me é perfetto, nient'altro da aggiungere. Insomma, per riassumere tutta la recensione in poche parole: "le persone non erano pronte" 10/10.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First off, the gameplay is identical to the first instalment - scavenging, gun battles, modding weapons and creating explosives. It's all there. The dialogue is great and well acted and the graphics are beautiful. Some of the best you'll see on the PS4.
    The enemy AI is amazing, which makes the gun battles and stealth kills all the more enjoyable and satisfying. In short - if you loved the first game, you will love this game too, purely from a gameplay perspective.

    Now, having completed the game a few days ago, I'm still thinking about it and it even compelled me to come here and leave a review.
    This game is all about an emotive narrative - it will anger you, it will make you sad and it will also have you questioning what a protagonist really is and what an antagonist really is.
    As in life, we all have our stories and we can all justify our actions. Put that in a post apocalyptic setting, where the only rule is survival, the ways things 'played' out in the game isn't too overly far fetched.
    Okay, there are some weak points: Why would Joel and Tommy volunteer who they are and where they live to strangers? Why was Ellie spared multiple times throughout the game?
    But how many times do you watch a movie or a TV series (that you love) where you find yourself asking these things, and who's to say these won't be addressed and answered in the next Last of Us game (there has to be one, surely?).

    However, the driving force here is how emotive it is.

    The overall feeling from this game is loss; it's a tragic story and yes, devastating things happen to characters we love. But it's a cruel world and bad things happen everyday, so imagine what it's like in their world? This has to be taken into account - there are no protagonists or antagonists in this world, just survivors.
    Joel did some horrific things in the build up to meeting Ellie and it's even said by Ellie during the gameplay (when scavenging with Dina).
    People's actions have consequences and despite all the loss and brutality, Abby and Ellie show flashes of compassion towards one another, as they're also struggling with what's 'right' and what's 'wrong'.

    You might not like how the story plays out, but that's how it goes sometimes - it doesn't mean it's a bad game or even a bad story. Far from it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I didn't liked first part TLOU, but it was a really good game. When I saw User Score, I bought TLOU 2 and played it until the end. I cann't remember the game, which I played without rest 15 hours. I really liked this story and graphics in this game. I met a few gameplay bugs and too strange AI which can see through the walls. I loved oldschool style of game without any help and markers on screen. This game not leading player like a mother teaching her little baby walk and this is very cool. I don't like LGBT, but Ellie and Dina were not annoying with this like I thought before. Abby - which was hated by players is second protagonist of game had a good motivation for doing what she is done. I lked her story even more than Ellie's part. I'm glad, that story was completely ended without something like TO BE CONTINUED, but I'm left excited what happened to Abby. I hope Naughty Dog will make more cool games with a good stories like The Last of Us 2 on next generation of PlayStation. Playing as Abby sometimes I thought, that I'm playing for Chris Redfield's girlfriend from Resident Evil, specially Boss Fight with Rat King. Thanks to Naughty Dog for bringing my memories from younger age, when games were not so casual as not.… Expand

    The Last of Us Part II is the high point of the PlayStation 4. The plot is controversial, but the game is the incredibly addictive adventure of Ellie, from which it is impossible to pull away from the opening and to the very end.

    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.
