This video is very different than anything I've ever done before. When I streamed The Last of Us Part II, my chat was constantly filled with people making wild accusations about the game that I just didn't see with own eyes. That, along with comments regarding the leaks of the game, is what inspired this video: an honest, critical analysis of the inner workings of the game's narrative, from start to finish.

I hope you enjoy watching this video essay, and as I ask in the video, please keep any offensive comments to yourself. You'll find that the point of this video is to analyze something yourself through critical thinking. Spewing hatred does nothing but hurt your own argument.

Special thanks to Gregg from @Drop Rate for being the best dude and reading this over and providing feedback. Same with SG alumni Frank Heinrich and his friend Chloe for providing their own unique viewpoints that steered me in the right direction.
