Summary
In this 'critical playthrough' of The Last of Us, Ramirez thinks the game's various tropes and processes through the 'metagame' of hegemonic masculinity and neoliberal individualism, producing a superb close reading of how the game's possibility space maps onto contemporary debates about whiteness, violence, and neoliberalism. Prof. Gerald Voorhees, University of Waterloo, Canada.
