It essentially presents an atlas of human emotion, amplified by its surrounding drama but never alien or unknown, always unnervingly, embarrassingly recognizable and tangible. That is what Naughty Dog—through delays and drama and leaks, and while naysayers with antiquated perspectives banged pots and pans—have drawn out of The Last of Us Part II. At nearly 30 hours for a careful playthrough, its intensity and relentless narrative will put players through the ringer long before the brutal end, but most anyone will be better for it, tears and all, and very possibly transformed. The greatest game of this console generation? Of that there is absolutely no doubt. It’s also, quite possibly, the greatest video game of all time.https://screenrant.com/the-last-of-us-2-game-review/

The world of The Last of Us 2 is bleak and bloody, so it feels odd for me to be able to say that while playing it, I felt sheer joy. This marks only the second time in my gaming life that I have been able to play a game without a single barrier to my enjoyment. So often, while Ellie is surviving hell in the game, I’d find myself sitting there with a grin on my face, thinking, look at me, playing a game and being good at it! This is fun! That’s not something I get to feel often in games and it is incredible.
The Last of Us Part II is the perfect combination of an excellent Hollywood movie with a fat budget with fun and flowing gameplay. The phenomenal writing will touch every player and won't leave an eye dry of tears. Combat and exploration are challenging and lead the player to use creativity and improvisation. A real masterpiece and a must-have for every PS4 owner.
The Last of Us Part 2 is uncomfortably real. It’s gritty, heavy, and polished to a mirror sheen. Even now, a week on from completing it, I’m feeling its weight. It’s far from what I anticipated, but crucially it did the work to get me invested. An astounding technical marvel, The Last of Us Part 2 deftly weaves diverse exploration and fun combat into the mix, resulting in a truly brilliant package.
It’s not for the faint of heart, and takes the post-apocalyptic formula to new brutality heights, but you’ll have dreaded fun while plotting your course both through the game, and for revenge. After all, it’s a dish best served cold, and more often than not you’ll be shivering outside in the rain-drenched black of night, bruised, bloodied and battered. Staring at the last two rounds in your weapon, wishing you had a fuse for your near-completed molotov while hearing the echo-location clicks of the poor bastards swaying in the corner, the pandemic turned into living purple 1-Down mushrooms.

By DY_nasty Go To Postpls alert the mods if you find someone who doesn't agree with you~Unless you own a Nintendo console, then please DM Slaent's resident Nintendo expert, Smokey
The Last of Us was a game I really enjoyed, but never wanted to go back to. Neither it's storytelling nor it's story is that stellar, but the way it was presented and how expertedly paced the story unfolded was perfect. And AAA games rarely manage to do that. Max Payne 2 was the last game that did hit that managed that for me.
Hopefully Part II manages to that as well.
Hopefully Part II manages to that as well.
i though the last of us was a perfectly serviceable game apeing the most general of zombie troops while doing a standard father-daughter relationship, last of us 2 sounds like manhunt with better production values with not much new to say beyond the boring by now "killing in games is bad you should feel bad" tripe

Nonsense gets met with nonsense.
I’m sure people are just going to hate play TLOU II and praise it because it’s the thing to do...

Ellie on her john wick shit. Review is spoiler free and contains game play on the hardest available difficulty.
From Schreier's reaction you'd think cannata was comparing the game to the actual Holocaust and not a Spielberg movie.
Get the feeling Schreier doesn't like Druckmann due to things he's heard about ND's working practices.
By /sy Go To PostFrom the Hollywood reporterWhen will films, if ever, catch up to video games?
Damn.
96 on MC after 80 fucking reviews.
HOES MAD
Films better step it up if they can't let you spend 27 hours stabbing hundreds of people in the throat and watching them bleed out on the floor while enjoying intermittent graphic assault scenes

By Laboured Go To PostI really like TLOU and found its gameplay loops to be very fun, engaging and replayable *shrug*
I played it on Survivor and the small moments of real power you find in that game's combat loop were immense. When you got that rare Axe or Machette, fuck me did I feel like i was about to combo through a whole load of lads.

By FortuneFaded Go To PostWould you describe the first game as fun?Spoilers for the first game:
The original The Last of Us told a story that felt small and human, whereas the second tells one of all-consuming vengeance. In that first game, a gruff middle-aged smuggler named Joel has to shepherd a 14-year-old girl named Ellie across the post-apocalyptic United States. Ellie is immune to the outbreak, and Joel is taking her to a medical base to see if her immunity can help create a vaccine. In the game’s astonishing ending—spoilers?—when Joel learns that making the vaccine will kill Ellie, he murders the doctor and takes her from the hospital. He lies to her about what happened, telling her a cure is impossible. The player is left wondering if Ellie believes him in the game’s last moments.
I would have gladly played a version of The Last of Us 2 that explored these themes, that, like the first game, focused on the very human struggles of its characters set against a grim and brutal world. But that’s not the game we get.Again, from Riley MacLeod's review
By Dipro Go To Postgameplay still seems subpar. i wonder if ND ever improves on that front.
They don't need to. Their games aren't know for gameplay, and the audience seems perfectly fine with that.
A 'perhaps I misunderstood' would've sufficed. Alas. The internet makes it too easy to come across as a cunt.
By Laboured Go To PostFight timeJason is a "press sneak fuck" afterall. Fucking unfollowed him.
