The most memorable moments in The Last of Us Part II (spoilers)

The Last of Us Part II has some of the most memorable scenes you’ll ever see in a video game. Naughty Dog’s epic story feels like it goes on forever. I played it for 40 hours, and my daughter played it in 35. And we’ve boiled down some of the biggest moments to a little more than a half-hour in this video.

If you’re like me, you’ll want some help processing the story of The Last of Us Part II, which is both satisfying and frustrating, memorable and traumatic, violent and tender. To help understand the game, I interviewed Naughty Dog’s narrative lead, Halley Gross (here’s our interview with her and my own views of the full story). We talked about all of the major scenes and what inspired them. My daughter Danielle Takahashi edited the video and added my commentary to it.
