The Unmistakable Humanity of The Last of Us: Part II

In just the short few months since the game's release, The Last of Us: Part II has already been widely considered to be one of the most controversial game narratives of all time, largely due to the game's structure and the enormity of risky storytelling decisions taken within it. In this video, I attempt to explore the purpose and scope of those risks, all to eventually shine a light on the unmistakable humanity within The Last of Us: Part II.
