The Last of Us is a masterpiece, through and through. When it was first announced, when the first trailer dropped at one of the last good E3s or wherever, I remember watching it time and time again. I felt like, wow, finally they nailed a zombie game.
When I got my hands on the game, which was the only reason I bought a PlayStation after being a long time Xbox user, I was blown away. My high hopes were met and exceeded.
The story is great. The characters rock. The small story beats you find by reading journals and notes are actually interesting. The gameplay, while shallow in some ways, is fun and engaging.
I was even impressed with the multiplayer. This time frame for games had a lot of tacked-on multiplayer that was generally worth avoiding, but TLOU transitioned their single player gameplay over to multiplayer in a satisfying and enjoyable way. A little cherry on top.
I can’t imagine anyone on this website hasn’t played this game yet, but if you just awoke from a decade long coma and are looking for something special, start here.
