Today sees the release of "The Last of Us 2". The sequel to the cult drama from 2013, and the critics are going wild with enthusiasm. Form your own opinion with us when we start the adventure at 11:00.
"The greatest game of this console generation," writes Screenrant. "A masterpiece", says IGN. "Raises the bar for video games", summarises The SixthAxis. Most critics agree that "The Last of Us 2" has become one of the best games of all time. Naughty Dog's post-apocalyptic mushroom zombie drama even trumps its extremely successful predecessor.
"The Last of Us 2" is set after the events of the first instalment. You take on the role of Ellie, who has grown from a quick-witted teenager into a young woman. Her smile has given way to a grim expression, which is a harbinger of a long and brutal campaign of revenge. Joel, the main character of the first part, only plays second fiddle this time.
In a world where it is unclear whether humans or zombies are the bigger monsters, you can expect a gripping and gruelling adventure by all accounts. However, there are also critical voices that describe the violence in "The Last of Us 2" as too superficial and merely a shock element. They accuse the game of lacking innovation. After years of waiting, we can now find out for ourselves who is right.
"The Last of Us 2" is available for the PS4 and was provided to us by Sony.

Philipp.Rueegg@digitecgalaxus.chAs a child, I wasn't allowed to have any consoles. It was only with the arrival of the family's 486 PC that the magical world of gaming opened up to me. Today, I'm overcompensating accordingly. Only a lack of time and money prevents me from trying out every game there is and decorating my shelf with rare retro consoles.
