As a die-hard fan of The Last of Us, I couldn’t stop talking about why I felt it succeeded as a video game adaptation - a rare feat! I was asked by the team at Think Jam to write an opinion piece, from the perspective of a lifelong gamer and fan of the original series.
I decided to write about Episode 3, ‘Long, Long Time’, as I felt it effectively subverted expectations of both existing fans of the game, as well as first-time viewers.
