Prepare for anger, fear, pain and disappointment. As clichéd as it may sound, Naughty Dog has reached a new, seemingly unreachable level of narrative design. The Last of Us Part II will hurt you in ways that no game has ever done before. This is a story you must experience. [08/2020, p.36]
The Last of Us Part II is a third person action game, a survival horror, an immersive sim, a walking Simulator, and snippets of so many others, all at the same time. Without the immensity of an open world, it masterfully emulates the sense of freedom, and without the classic features of an RPG, it has allowed us to make the characters our own. Or rather, the other way around. It is an evolution for the genre in terms of technical aspects and an exercise in maturity in terms of how it deals with its themes. Despite some sloppiness, it holds the highest of standards and sets the mold for what should be the next generation of AAA games.
Even though I admit I would've preferred this game's story to be all about Ellie and Joel's next journey, I can't help but love this game.
The bond they created throughout the first game is what makes it so special to me, and left me wanting more, so this sequel broke my heart in a million pieces the first time I played it.
Fortunately, this sequel still offers some moments of them together, but emotionally, the game will take from you more than it'll give you.
Either you love or hate where the story of this sequel goes, you have to admit it's a masterpiece. The amount of work the team put into this game is crazy. I'm going through it again for the third time, readying myself for another 24 hour playthrough. The first hours still breaks my heart and hurts like hell, but exploring and surviving the world of The Last of Us Part II feels great no matter how many times I replay it.
The characters, the writing, the graphics, music and sound design borders perfection, and makes every single hour spent playing this game be worth it.
The entire package is wrapped together in a gorgeous presentation that serves as Naughty Dog’s PS4 swan song. The Last of Us Part II’s harrowing tale and exploration of violence may not leave everyone happy by the time the credits roll, but it’s another stunning home run for Naughty Dog.
Naughty Dog delivers their best game yet –an exceptional game in every aspect. It is an incredibly shocking, epic, terrifying action adventure with an unforgettable story.
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 enjoyed the first TLOU, you'll definitely find something to love in The Last of Us Part II. The game greatly expands upon just about everything that made the first game popular. The second game didn't get to me emotionally like the first game did, but it definitely has some heavy moments and the shock value is rather extreme at some points.
In trying to subvert expectations, The Last of Us Part II discards the best aspects of its predecessor to provide a rote revenge tale that is ill-considered, ending on a note that makes everything — all the violence, all the loss, all the struggle — feel utterly, hopelessly pointless.
Игра очень спорная конечно, но эмоционально проект воспринимается мной очень хорошо, не смотря на достаточное количество спорных, сюжетных моментов...от поведения персонажей до попыток сценариста вызвать у тебя эмоции по средствам манипуляции. Жаль, что в конце не дают сделать ключевой выбор и концовка одна. Я конечно понимаю, что "Он художник, он так видит" , но мне кажется предоставить выбор игроку стоило...В плане геймплея нареканий нет, графически игра тоже выглядит довольно неплохо, местами даже очень хорошо и эффектно.
A história é uma merda e o final é uma porcaria, melhoraram tudo comparado a o jogo de 2013 mas pecaram na história com muita lacração e um final bunda
