Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us is a 2013 masterpiece that perfected what had started back on Uncharted 2 - the formula being adapted to a 'mature western survival horror cinematic action game', with enough grit to attract the attention of hordes of baby-mans that enjoy feeling like adults by consuming “complicated violent male daddies” media.
Anyway, jokes aside, this is a fantastic game, the kind of game so good that, back then, generated fresh interest in the medium from folks that weren’t already into it. In other words, The Last of Us is probably one of the great examples of games that made people into gamers. Yes, gamers are not people.

Nowadays, shows its age with some of the level design, but still, we have here an unflawed absolute hit - if you can stomach what it offers and what it entails.

Played it "remastered" on ps4.
