The Last of Us Part II

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.

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.

это легенда, я хз как это можно ненавидеть и оценивать ТАК низко. настолько эта игра завораживает, что после нее другие игры кажутся такой фигней

Os desenvolvedores demonstraram claramente que odeiam vídeo games e os jogadores, estragando e enterrando uma franquia multibilionária. Diferentemente do primeiro jogo, que tinha uma história brilhante e personagens cativantes, este peca por uma história bem pobre e personagens muito mal desenvolvidos. Ganha um prêmio especial pelo design do personagem mais horrorosamente grotesco que eu vi na minha vida: Abby. Senti náuseas ao vê-la na tela.Além disso, muitas das fases não têm ação, são apenas cutscenes interativas, horríveis e tediosas, e o pior de tudo, não podem ser puladas. E isso ocupa quase metade do jogo.Matam o protagonista e personagem mais carismático, acabando com a alma da franquia, sem nenhuma necessidade, logo no início do jogo por algo que não tem necessariamente a ver com o roteiro do primeiro **** gráficos são excelentes (o que não torna nenhum jogo bom), o combate é adequado, mas pior do que o primeiro jogo. Enfim as boas qualidades não apagam as partes ruins.Fica a dia: fujam de jogos com a participação de Neil Druckmann.
