Right, okay, pay attention — allow us to clarify ourselves earlier than you probably lose your minds within the feedback. Our resident video producer Aaron Bayne has some opinions about The Last of Us as a franchise, and his newest work explains why he thinks The Last of Us: Part II is…effectively, higher than The Last of Us: Part I.

The video covers subjects just like the sequel’s emotionally-charged rollercoaster of a narrative, and the recontextualisation of its characters. But because the headline of this text conveys, it is essential to keep in mind that Part II is nothing with out Part I. The characters and their struggles type the core of the primary recreation, and Part II takes these parts and runs with them, difficult gamers on an ethical, and emotional degree.

And when you really feel like watching extra, take a look at our The Last of Us Lore Explained deep dive, through which Aaron explores the scarily grounded, apocalyptic occasions that lead as much as the unique recreation.

Anyway, give the video a glance, after which tell us when you agree (or disagree!) within the feedback part beneath.
