The narrative sees players experience not only Spider-Man and his daily adventures but also the human side of the story with Peter Parker. It starts strong by introducing players to the many notable characters of the Spider-Man mythos that all play an important part in the overarching plot.

We will discuss regarding The Last of Us Part 2’s shortcomings in its storytelling more elaborately in the other half of this article. Seeing how even the smallest of things gives a brief moment of joy to our protagonists in this dark and miserable world is something that is bound to bring tears to players' eyes.Īlthough the Last of Us did get a sequel that thoroughly expands upon the original game’s ideas and gameplay, it ultimately failed to convey a similar narrative tone that connects with the players on an emotional level. Watching both these characters grow throughout the length of the story and learn to care for one another despite their differences is truly something else.
