I'm playing an incredible video game. I'm playing a misery simulator.
I played the incredible misery simulator video game.
As a video game, The Last of Us II is an amazing accomplishment, the visual and audio fidelity are really second to none. But I have a hard time deciding how I feel about this unabashedly bleak narrative. Ultimately it is an extremely effective story of trauma and and the choices made because of those traumas.
I can't help but think of Cormac McCarthy's novel The Road when considering The Last of Us II. And like that work, this game is powerful and will stick with me for a long time, but I'm not sure I'll ever go back and experience it again.
