Following up the events from the first one, The Last of Us Part II expands on everything from story to gameplay, characters and visuals in a swansong title for the Playstation 4.

Having played the first one recently, and playing the sequel in the middle of a global pandemic, well, safe to say that this will stay in my head for quite some time.
