In the image of this post-apocalyptic world that has redefined the very foundations of relationships between individuals, the various protagonists in this sequel have had to adapt and change, sometimes beyond their own convictions, in order to survive. Resuming the story four years after the end of the first part, The Last of Us 2 Mobile will, throughout its plot, attempt to describe what happened during this temporal ellipse in order to give us a better understanding of Ellie and Joël’s journey, while introducing the fantastic character of Abby, the new antagonist of this second part. Moving and bloody, The Last of Us 2 Mobile will have marked the players by the accuracy of its situations and the subtlety of its narration. To bring out Joël’s lost emotions towards Ellie, going from a simple “parcel” to a substitute for his lost daughter.įrom then on, director Neil Druckmann, with the help of screenwriter Halley Gross, will never cease to play on this sensitive chord, confronting his duo with the atrocities of a world where omnipresent barbarity has led to a crucial notion of survival that has long since changed human behaviour. The answer is finally there and as we could have expected, it will be synonymous with tenderness, wonder, but also a lot of suffering. Seven years to imagine how Naughty Dog was going to be able to materialize (or not) the fantasies of millions of players who were stunned by this final shot of The Last of Us, full of intense emotion, but above all full of questions. Seven years is the time we had to wait to finally discover what Joël and Ellie’s life was made of after the atrocities they lived and endured.
