A FRESH LOOK AT ONE OF THE MOST AMBITIOUS GAMES OF ALL TIME
That may appear to be high praise, but Naughty Dog is entirely deserving of it. Set five years after the spellbinding conclusion to The Last Of Us, this longawaited sequel picks up in a world still shrouded in conflict and contention. Ellie is older now, clearly scarred by the hardship that she has been forced to endure just to survive – the ramifications of Joel’s climactic decision a weight on her weary shoulders, the world around her wrought with ruin because of it. Speaking of Joel, he is still nowhere to be seen in the early marketing push but clearly present, a commanding presence in Tommy’s settlement back in Jackson county though he is no friend to his estranged surrogate daughter now. It’s as they say: it is the old wounds that cut deepest into your soul.
