Playthrough 1:

For the second time in my life, I have just finished a game and am at a loss for words. It really doesn’t happen as much as you’d think. The Last Of Us Part II was the most well written, acted, and designed game I’ve played to date. Without a doubt in my mind. A most amazing crafted blend of unbelievably original storytelling, mind-blowing graphics, mechanical depth, and emotion. I am moved, humbled, devastated, and in awe. I love so much love for this. So very much. Please, if you have any, talk to me about your experiences with the game. I’m in need of conversing about this.



Playthrough 2 (Grounded+ mode):

Wow. I cannot believe it’s over. Again. Seriously flew right by me. If my first playthrough blindsided me and bowled me right over, this one picked me up, dusted me off, and gave me a friendly slap just for good measure.

I said it before, and I’ll say it again. This is one of the most human games I’ve yet played. Somehow it fucking manages to take a wildly far flung narrative in a world beyond relatability, and come out with characters that are more honest and more human than almost real life.

An inspiration, a soul-strengthener, a myriad, and low sound. A was, and still am, shaken.
