'The Last Of Us Part II' Is A Gut Punch That Just Keeps Punching
The hotly-anticipated, pandemic-delayed sequel to 2013's fungal apocalypse game The Last of Us packs all the visual and emotional wallop of the first — and more.
The Last of Us Part II is a game that punches you in the gut right from the start, and never stops punching.
During a time like this, I honestly didn't know if I could handle a game like The Last of Us, either part of it. As a journalist in 2020, a lot of my waking thoughts go to the news (which is usually upsetting). I wasn't really tempted to escape into an apocalyptic hellscape where 60% of the world's population is killed by a parasitic fungus that turns you into a zombie.
It wasn't from a lack of interest. I've been, released in 2013, is considered one of the best games of all time. People had extraordinarily high expectations for this new installment — and it's another masterpiece just like the first.
