Finally, I completed The Last of Us Part II.
At the beginning, I hated the long cutscenes. I'm a casual player, and they felt like an interruption to my gameplay. But the moment I engaged with the story, everything changed. I didn’t care anymore about killing zombies, Wolves, Scars, the Rat King, or whatever else. I just wanted to know what would happen next.
I truly connected with every character. What a great feeling.
It was so moving. Apparently, the history of humanity is nothing more than the story of parents and their children, and how those children fight against the ghosts of their past.
The many Christian references and influences ¿? are interesting. I think the phrase “Only when weak may I carry my true strength” is a perfect example:
“But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”
— 2 Corinthians 12:9–10
A masterpiece.
