This week we're diving deep into video game The Last of Us Part 2.

SPOILER WARNING!!!

From the emotional fallout of Joel’s death to the shifting perspectives of Ellie and Abby, we break down every major chapter of the story we expect to see in Season 1 and explore how the game pushes players into uncomfortable territory - challenging empathy, vengeance, and what it means to survive.

We revisit the return to Jackson, Ellie and Dina’s growing bond, and Abby’s complex journey from vengeance to redemption. Plus, we unpack unforgettable sequences like the museum, the aquarium, and Santa Barbara, and reflect on the game’s central themes: grief, forgiveness, and the brutal cost of breaking the cycle of violence.

And of course, we dig into the game’s most controversial choices, standout performances, and the moments that left us emotionally wrecked.
