The Last of Us is one of the best looking games out there today
Despite the foundation of overfamiliar zombie junk, question is “Do I really need to do this again?”. “Yes, absolutely!” The Last of Us is a rousingly well-made, emotionally grueling work of pop entertainment, and a noteworthy synthesis of game design and character-driven storytelling. It is even, in the end, genuinely surprising.
Other games have tackled the zombie apocalypse before, but none give the player the sense of desperation and desolation that The Last of Us does. It is this tribute to despair where the game absolutely shines. It is the constant, nagging feeling that everything and anything you do will result in failure – or worse, the loss of your humanity – that makes every second of gameplay so profoundly nerve-wracking. It is survival horror at its finest, a stealth action game where every shot counts, and the smallest mistake can spell your immediate doom.
Intense combat, fantastic sound and visuals, and well-written, complex characters make The Last of Us not only a great game, but a beautiful one. It is a prime example of the video game as a proper storytelling medium, as a bona fide work of art. If you have a PS3, this is the definitive addition to your library of classic titles… because, simply put, that is what the The Last of Us is: a classic.
The Last of Us is a third-person action game that consists mainly of sneaking, exploring and shooting. It takes place in North America around the year 2033, the world it presents is ours, but twenty years after a disease has infected the majority of the world’s human population, transforming them into weird fungal mutants who feast on human flesh. Those of us who remain live in barricaded cities controlled by totalitarian government forces and scratching a living however we can.
