This The Last of Us Part 2 article contains spoilers.
The Last of Us Part 2 was a creative risk for Naughty Dog and Sony. A continuation of one of the most beloved and praised stories in video game history had to not only live up to the original game but the very high expectations of fans who’d spent the last seven years since The Last of Us forming their own theories as to what would happen next to Joel and Ellie.
Naughty Dog, which is not a studio known for shying away from risk, may not have met everyone of those expectations with The Last of Us Part 2, but it certainly subverted quite a few. Some on social media have even jokingly started drawing connections to Star Wars: The Last Jedi due to all the ways it turns right when we expect it to turn left.
