Now, with its release this past week, “The Last of Us Part II” brings much of the same critical acclaim that its predecessor received.
Despite its fairly generic story, atmosphere and third-person-shooter gameplay, the video game was universally praised, primarily, for its sublime execution of all those combined components. Cherished by both fans and critics, “The Last of Us” portrayed a growing relationship between two strangers - 28-year-old Joel and 14-year-old Ellie - amidst a zombie-laden post-apocalyptic setting. “The Last of Us Part II” - a highly anticipated video game sequel - was recently released to the general public on June 19.
