I wrote about The Last of Us Part II, games as dreamspaces, and how this game completely lost me, then won me back just a bit. Like the game it's about, my piece is arguably too long, but I had a lot to say. I've never wrestled with a game quite so much.https://medium.com/@carolynpetit/broken-people-broken-worlds-thoughts-on-the-last-of-us-part-ii-a012de5d2acf …

I also want to say a big and heartfelt thank you to everyone who has kicked a coffee or two my way after reading this piece. With rent due and money tight, every bit helps right now, and I’m extremely grateful.https://ko-fi.com/carolynpetit

I disagree with a few parts but I feel like the way you wrote was completely true to yourself and how the game made you feel. There are some parts of your article where I felt things differently but I also agree with the things I actually disagreed. Does that make sense?

It's like I saw added another layer of what the game made ME feel. And I think that this is where the game really is excellent: in making you feel intense and complex stuff, and making you find layers and layers and more layers, just like your article.

Honestly, what I took away from the game was more positive than what you did. I saw it as a game about community and how people have to really try hard to fuck things up. This piece has made me really think about that and re-assess the ending, though.

Now my thoughts are VERY conflicted. Which is great! Thanks for that. :)

As always, it's a stunning piece, Caro. I'm so grateful for you.

Thank you, Kevin!
It was a beast of a game to wrestle with. It means a lot that people are finding value in my response to it & I'm glad to see the game provoking a lot of thoughtful criticism. It makes it easier to view the garbage reactions to the game as desperate and sad. - Show replies
