Live dramas have made great contributions! "The Last of Us 2RE" returns to the UK sales list!

　　According to the latest weekly sales data of the UK physical game list released by Push Square, "The Last of Us 2 Remake" successfully ranked sixth on the list. Analysts believe that this sales performance is related to the release of the second season of HBO's hit drama "The Last of Us".

　　The "The Last of Us 2 Remake" launched in January this year not only improves the screen expression, but also adds game modes and behind-the-scenes content. It should be noted that this is not the first time that the series has driven game sales due to film and television adaptations. It also caused a similar market response when the first season was aired.

　　The Second Season of "The Last of Us" continues the excellent production level of the previous work, and has been recognized by the industry in terms of doomsday scene restoration and action scene presentation. However, compared with the human warmth that is focused on the first season, this season tends to show a "self-destructive" narrative style. Although this dark tone that is closer to reality logic increases the depth of the work, it also weakens the emotional resonance that some viewers seek.

In terms of narrative processing, the second season was criticized for "over-diluting the emotional climax of the original game". Taking the key plot of Ellie discovering Mel's pregnancy as an example, the excessive details added to the series actually weakens the dramatic tension that should have been.
