The Last Of Us Part 2: 10 Biggest WTF Moments
We're still reeling from some of these shocking moments in the Last of Us 2.
Here’s your warning: massive spoilers for the entire plot of The Last of Us 2 follow!
Wow, The Last of Us 2 is really quite the ride. Talk about an emotional rollercoaster!
Along with being one of the longest games Naughty Dog has produced in recent memory, this landmark title brings so much emotion and character drama to its storytelling and when the credits finally roll, you’ll probably sit back to yourself and start reflecting about what you’ve just experienced.
There’s so much to unpack here. While playing through, there’s so many moments where you’ll just stop for a second, and probably audibly shout WTF at the TV screen. That’s entirely understandable – Naughty Dog pulls absolutely no punches in their story in this game, and many of the shocking moments are so good because of the sheer strength of Naughty Dog’s ability to tell an interesting narrative, driven by its strong characters.
It may well even be the best story Naughty Dog has ever produced; years of experience and cutting-edge technology bring this world to life like never before.
But which were the real spit out your beverage, swear loudly at the TV moments that left you sitting there either feeling amazed, feeling terrible, or a combination of both? Let's find out, shall we...
10. Playing As Someone Else
Wait, what? You don’t play as Ellie for the entire game?
Nothing in Naughty Dog’s marketing for this title gave away the fact that there’d be two intertwining stories with two different characters. So, when the story pulls away from Ellie, and suddenly you’re in the shoes of a brand-new character known as Abby right from the off, that’s a WTF moment and a half right there.
For a while, you’ll be along for the ride with Abby as she tries to survive in the wilderness. She seems almost just like another Ellie; hardy and strong and more than capable of handling herself (unless heights are involved, of course). She seems grounded, human and you just to start to bond with her when, suddenly, Abby encounters Joel and his brother Tommy.
After they help Abby fend off a horde of infected, Abby then reveals her true colours, attacking Joel suddenly out of the blue and revealing everything is not as it seems with both her crew, which are holed up in an old mansion near the town of Jackson.
