397: The Last of Us Part II

The original game The Last of Us was an incredible experience: thrilling, beautiful, moving, violent, engaging, and memorable, enough so that it’s not only one of my very favorite games, but also one of my all-time favorite stories, of any kind. Now, almost exactly seven years later, I’m joined again by Erik (aka Mr. Blahg) to talk through the newly released and long-awaited sequel, The Last of Us Part II. How do we think it compares? You’ll have to listen to find out :) By the way, we have a like 30-minute non-spoilery segment, and like a 45-minute super-spoilery-AF segment, in case you haven't finished yet and don't want to know what happens. Our 10th anniversary is coming up and we’d love to hear from you guys to help us celebrate. Send a voice message to us at [email protected] and we’ll play it during the episode.
