It’s been a year now since The Last of Us Part II came out. In case you missed it at the time, here is my piece wrestling with that game’s violence, its seeming hopelessness, and the impact of Joel telling Ellie, in his own way, that she has value and is deserving of love.https://twitter.com/carolynmichelle/status/1277730092160962560 …

Fantastic piece. I struggled with the dissonance between the fidelity of moment-to-moment choices and the unyielding path that the game forces the story down. I struggled with how to write about this and landed on an overly technical take: http://horror.dreamdawn.com/?p=14800315 .

I don't think this piece is too technical at all, I think you write beautifully about that tension between narrative/theme and gameplay, a tension that I definitely felt more in TLOU2 than in most games. Thanks for sharing that.
