The Last of Us Part II is the 2020 sequel to 2013's The Last of Us, developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony, released exclusively for the PlayStation 4. It features Ellie from the first game going on a revenge-fuelled mission to take down a group known as the WLF.

It's notable for causing division amongst gamers of all stripes, with reviews ranging from "Game of the Year" to "they done my boy Joel dirty I hate Naughty Dog forever"

But why? In today's episode, I delve deep into the story beats of The Last of Us 2 and figure out what it was going for, and how well it achieved it.
