    Reflecting on The Last of Us Part 2.

    In the latest episode of Talking Games with Bayne, I started on my quest of reflection to discuss what makes The Last of Us Part 2 so divisive, dissecting key moments in it's story, the high expectations on the run up to release, and the protectiveness its fanbase. 



    Joining me is Culture Writer Millicent Thomas, Games Journalists Sterling Silver and David Carcasole, and Film and Games Journalist Kyle Gaffney.
