The Last Of Us Part 2: 10 Biggest WTF Moments
6. Forced Dog Murder
While The Last of Us had no problem with letting you murder countless hordes of people and infected, the sequel introducing dogs into the mix is a whole new way to make you feel terrible all over again.
While technically it’s possible to play through the vast majority of the game without actually murdering any of our canine friends, there’s one section in particular where Ellie acts in self-defence, killing a dog in the aquarium.
That’s shocking and traumatising enough already, but the Last of Us 2 goes one further. When play switches to Abby for an extended section, you’ll meet with, bond with, play fetch with and grow to love this dog, AKA Alice.
It brings a whole new context to the situation, and when Abby arrives later and sees the dead body of the dog, closely followed by her closest friend, Owen, it’s truly heart-breaking stuff.
You can really start to see the motivation behind Abby’s hatred towards Ellie at this point.
