The Last of Us Part 2 - The Ending Explained

HUGE Thanks to @PlayStation & @Naughty Dog for the free copy of The Last of Us Part II!

Greetings, Strategists! This video started off as an all-encompassing review tackling both the technical aspects & the story component. But after receiving some feedback & taking another honest look at my first written draft, I realized it was far too broad in scope & effectiveness. So I decided to focus on one particular aspect, and do it well. In this case, I choose to give my interpretation of the ending of the game which I feel has been greatly misunderstood & underappreciated.

This video is loaded with information & insight, so it may be a little overwhelming during your first watch. If you stick with the entire discussion, and follow it's course right up until the end, then you'll likely be prepared to receive what I feel is a massive reveal for this wholly unique gaming experience. Thank you for your time and consideration in support of this video. If you have more specific questions that you would like to ask me about in regards to the topics I mentioned here, please join me for an interactive livestream this Saturday, July 11th at 3:00pm PST/6:00pm EST!
