The Heavenly Nut

The Last of Us 2 is a pioneer for narrative-driven videogames just like the first part. The relentless premise, the brutal and hefty combat, the vivid yet desolated environment all accompanied by the music that, compared to that of the first part, is profusely melancholic and cruel. The world of The Last of Us 2 is a dark place that has been left scathed by a fungal infection and where greed and danger lingers in every corner. A place where a person safe from the infection is a greater threat than the infected. A place where even the most beloved of characters have no surface of luck to walk on and therefore simply endure the cruelty of their world as the player spectates "the last of them" . The characters will do things that you'll find unlikable but you'll have to turn your brain on and empathize with them and understand their situation to truly appreciate the game's ambition.
