The Last of Us Part II - PlayStation 4

As someone who purchased this game with high expectations, I can confirm that I was NOT disappointed with this sequel. This game delivers some of the best visuals on the PS4 to date along with very nuanced stealth and action gameplay that feels great to play. The enemy variety and awareness is very fun to play through. The enemies communicate very effectively and call out your position and flank you and rush you. I found the gameplay and visuals to be at the highest level. The story was exciting and visceral but also makes sure to give you plenty of moments to slow down and take in the scenery or focus on the character dialogue. From a pure video game sense “Is this fun to play and is the story engaging and interesting?” Yes, 100% yes. STORY The story has been the topic of discussion and anger for some gamers. I sincerely do not understand being mad or angry at a game developer for telling a different story then what you expected. This is their game and is their story to tell as they see fit. I am not saying you have to love it or think its the best game ever made. I thought it was very intriguing to play both view points and thought it was interesting through out. If you find yourself mad at the game director or studio for not delivering exactly what you wanted, you may need to reevaluate your relationship with video games. I am a life long gamer, male, 34 years old, and consider myself to lean heavily on the conservative side when it comes to politics. I don’t feel like everything worked or 100% landed when it comes to certain choices they make with characters, but I also don’t hate the game by any means. I think the fact that this game asks you to play in the shoes of a character with different views or who made certain bad choices is refreshing. You get to see how the other character ended up where they did doing the thing they did. At the end of the game, I ended up thinking BOTH characters were terrible people who hurt those closest to them by focusing selfishly on revenge. I think that it says a lot about our society today that (I assume they are kids) are sending death threats and racial slurs to the game developers/game director. If you don’t like the game or story then by all means don’t buy it or play it. I don’t understand this culture that wants to YELL and SCREAM against every single thing that you disagree with. As an American, I think it is very sad that we are so divided and so hateful against other people who disagree on certain views/politics. Again, it is 100% ok to disagree or disagree strongly with another view point or politics but its not OK to stand back and shout that the opposing view is coming from a place of HATE or VIOLENCE. In conclusion, the gameplay and visuals are absolutely stunning. The game creators and artists all did an amazing job creating this world. The actors portraying the characters all did an excellent job, top notch stuff. The story had a few hits and a few misses for me. I feel like the ending was a bit drawn out and overstayed its welcome. They did not stick the landing with the ending in my opinion. As a whole, I can recommend this game 100% for those who enjoy action/survival horror and stealth gameplay. The story caused me to think about my own biases and think about how the other person might have done something wrong but I can still have empathy or sympathy for them. Taking all aspects into consideration this is a 10/10 game and different people will draw different conclusions about the story. At the end of the day, I encourage you to think about your own biases and consider for a moment that the people you strongly disagree with are PEOPLE and are leading their own lives and have their own problems and traumas they are trying to overcome. We should start treating our fellow man with kindness and respect instead of making them the villain because they disagree.

I pre-ordered the game and am about 2/3 of the way through it at this point, so my review is absolutely genuine and my own and NOBODY else's. As I said, I am about 2/3 of the way through the game so I have not seen the ending yet, so I will withhold my final verdict until then, but the game is indeed an excellent extension of the first game. I am enjoying this game just as much, if not more than the first game. The graphics are absolutely gorgeous, and the game play is actually better than the first one. The crafting is a huge improvement from the first game as well. I think that when people got to the death of Joel, they just stopped trying to understand what was going on. Luckily, I am able to look at the OVERALL picture and I think that, so far, this is an excellent extension of the first game. The flashbacks are filling some of the gaps from the past between when they returned to Tommy's town to the present day. I am even starting to understand Abby a little better at this point too. She has had 1 flashback herself up to the point where I left off, so she may have more as well. I just think people aren't giving this game enough of a chance because of what they did to Joel near the beginning of the game. People just need to calm down, and let's stop with the name calling and insults and be adults here alright? I can understand why people would be angry at Naughty Dog for doing what they did to Joel, but in the larger context of this game (given the violent circumstances of the world) was anyone really surprised that they would go there? As far as the people who are complaining about Naughty Dog pushing a Progressive agenda in regard to LGBTQ characters and Marijuana usage, I am a Moderate Republican and don't give a D**m about your personal problems. The world is what it is and it is NOT going away. I personally could care less what a person looks like, what race they are or how they identify themselves, that's their business and NONE of mine. Let's all try to get along with each other, we're all on this planet together and there has been ENOUGH bigotry and prejudice and it's high time that it ended. EDIT: OK, I have officially finished the game now, and I do understand why they went with the ending that they did. I will take the position that Ellie was heading back to Jackson at the end, and we know that Dina certainly went back to Jackson. With that being the case, and the fact that they were definitely in love, we can hope that they were able to work things out and start again. I enjoyed this game more than I though I would given the leaks. As I said earlier, I am a Moderate Republican and I don't care what race, gender or sexual identity a person is (or identifies as), that is their business, so this aspect of the game certainly did not bother me at all. As far as Abby goes, I certainly understand her anger at Joel and I eventually genuinely came to the point where I cared for what happened to her character and was glad that Ellie let her live. I think, now that I have had a chance to play the entire game, that this was indeed a masterpiece that carries on the storyline of the first game better than most people give it credit for. I really enjoyed playing this game and I thought that the improvements to the gameplay were just what the game needed and that overall this is a 9.5 out of 10. As far as all the people who are hating on this game, I really don't think that they finished the game and just stopped playing after they did what they did to Joel or when they were "forced" to play as Abby. They gave us plenty of time to get to know Abby as this was a 20+ hour game and I just think people like to hate for the sake of hating in this day and age.

Chegou rápido e em ótimo estado! Excelente compra!

Bought this game even though I knew the story front and back. Just finished it. And holy hell, this game did not disappoint blowing my expectations out of the water all over again. The graphics, the music. I don't know where to begin. I think I liked the gameplay more in this game than the first, especially proning in the grass. And this game terrified me at certain points more than the first game combined. But both this one and the (last) last of us, the story is phenomenal. I didn't expect to cry this hard again. There's an element of Naughty Dog that rips your heart apart each time you play one of their games. And this game was no exception. If there ever was another continuation of this series, I would probably get the next game in a heartbeat. By the way, if you cannot stealth, I wouldn't really recommend it. But if you decide to go for it, just remember to have fun! It was super fun for me to play.

Man man man da hatte ich mich lange Zeit abgewendet von Playstation und co direkt freute ich mich auf die guten Portionierungen für den PC und die war schon mega gelungen . Doch irgendwie überwund ich meinen inneren Schweinehund und kaufte dann letztendlich eine Playstation 5 zum Schnäppchen, skeptisch war ich ja schon weil ich in einem Besitz eines Highend PC mein eigen nennen darf . Naja ausgepackt und aufgestellt das gute Stück 🤔😊 The Last of us Part 2 lag bereit zu Installation ,rein die CD und installieren....gestartet das Spiel und nach einer halben Stunde schlug es mir die Kinnlade runter ....Alter Schwede was für ein hartes Brett...eine Story die einen um haut. Den ersten Teil spielte ich vor Jahren auf der PS4 und war schwer begeistert,den zweiten Teil zu spielen war selbstverständlich Pflicht. Und dieser Detail-Grad irre 🥳 ich war nicht nur hin und weg sondern musste öfters Mal anhalten um mir die Grafik einfach anzusehen ,dieser Teil hat ja bisher die höchste Bewertung im Spiele Test und zwar zu recht. Die Soundkulisse ist brachial gerade zu mörderisch.. absolut abgestimmt in jegliche Situation.....mega 😊..einfach wahnsinn. Die gesamte Story ist einfach nur filmreif die Animationen sind sowas von realistisch man merkt es steckt wirklich sehr viel Liebe und Arbeit drin. Ein Spiel was absolut ein Pflichtkauf ist für Konsolen Besitzer .... Prädikat besonders wertvoll.😊😊😊😊😊

Parfait

I use this for gaming
