I saw nothing technical to complain about, so let's cut to the chase. I'd play it for the contemplative music and apocalyptic set pieces alone, so naturalistic yet with a pinch of stylisation. Naughty Dog used technological advancements to breathe life into both characters and action. They couldn't have conveyed their vision fully without such an intricate facial animation and nuances. Hell, spit flies out Bill's mouth when he angrily reprimands Joel! Now, that's a great fusion of tech and lore. Swapping weapons, looting, going down the stairs, how Joel puts his hands on a wall when near a cover - the animations cannily flow into one another, pleasing the eye on a primordial level. Some inconsistencies apply, but none are immersion-breaking. Good! Because here immersive storytelling is instrumental in every aspect of design. Just Cargo Long story short, disgusting parasitic mushrooms started infecting people with mind-controlling spores, turning them into repugnant monstrosities and redecorating the world in their image. I believe that some fungus could undo our whole civilization since I used to live in an place where the black mould's reign just couldn't be stopped. In the cold open, you play as Joel, a daughter's dad who wears nothing but flannel and jeans. After a brief introduction, the outbreak begins and a tragedy strikes during our little family's evacuation attempt. Then we leap into the post-apocalyptic present where a still grieving husk of Joel reluctantly gets an Uber job of delivering Ellie, a young girl immune to the spores, to a hospital on the other end of America. She is humanity's last hope for a vaccine. It's basically one atypically great escort quest during which you'll bond with Joel and Ellie whom he initially perceives as nothing but cargo. Joel is a private, abrasive man, perfectly playing off Ellie's chill. She sticks to him like glue and doesn't get herself killed for no reason. She's independent, but not in a spoiled way. Not being just a cute object to protect, Ellie can handle herself and her comebacks could make me cry if I ever crossed her path. Joel doesn't want her around the same way I hesitate to adopt a cat. What if I screw up? But it's not all doom and gloom, eventually you'll see cute moments like when Ellie reads a book full of awful puns and they both just stand there cringing. She kept reading and I kept listening. Cringe is addictive, which is why I still have followers. Chokehold There's no hivemind overlord in whose heart you could plunge a sword to make things right. The real enemy are human vices and traumas, personified and scattered to avoid becoming grotesque. This whole story is about taking responsibility and letting go of the cynicism that stems from our fear of pain. There's a steep price to pay no matter how you feel. You either go down in crust or man up and allow yourself be vulnerable in a world which doesn't forgive vulnerability. Cynicism is the way of a coward, although, it's difficult to draw the line where compassion becomes indulgence. "Things happen and we move on" is a more convenient option in the world of TLOU. It's alien to our sensibilities, so is its morality. Just do the right thing, they say. Except that thing swings with the weather vane of perception. Here, character interactions portray it genuinely. You'll mostly meet mad creeps, and even kind people among them are lunatics from our point of view. "It's the normal people who scare me". The ones who find the predicament adequate are the real psychos. People's charm doesn't feel forced, everyone is given development via laconic banter before they either die or betray you. So abruptly, lifelike, with no fanfare. Human interaction in TLOU is fleeting, so you get attached to the main cast. That's why I rooted for Joel until end credits, irrationally so. I thought I knew better, but this game made me doubt myself. Can I possibly tell what's right from across the abyss prostrating between souls? No amount of baggage could ever fill it, but this game's song crosses the gap. There were points when I was close to crying without the sad piano to manipulate my emotions. It kept me in a chokehold. Nuts & Bolts It's a hard game to put down. I almost cried from the other end a few times. Sure, it's cinematic and slow-paced, but it's still a gamey survival horror that doesn't lag behind its peers. Then again, I'm a simple man! Gimme naturalistic brick vs skull violence and I'm sold. Have you seen that weighty ragdoll? Pure art. It's a game of quick death, yet quicker kills. I replayed half of the encounters just to see if I could kick ass harder. There were few games that pushed me to celebrate virtual violence like that: Manhunt, Max Payne, and The Punisher. Similarly to Frank, Joel is bestial in his chimp-like brutality. His adversaries justly call him crazy, for he would tear off your genitals and eat your face if needs be. Brick by brick, I made my way through the hordes of mutants and humans, playing the game as a beat 'em up until encounters become too massive to go loud comfortably. Turns out, sneaking is also fun! Helpful sound cues and predictable behavioural patterns alleviate frustration while leaving the room for risk. Armed humans are able to kill Joel in a couple of shots and newly-infected zombies are fast. A Clicker represents the next, sturdier phase of the infection. It can't be killed with bare arms. They don't see or hear you if you move quietly, but sometimes they let out a scanning scream that blows your cover if you get caught in its range. You never feel completely safe. Then goes a bulky Bloater who act as mini-bosses. They charge for an instakill, throw spore grenades... real party poopers. Humans also have aces up their sleeves. They react to noises and sights in a lively manner, then smoke you out of cover and partake in coordinated flanking or try to bargain when things get heated. Expect being ambushed, trapped, chased. But even during serene moments of looting the world blind bodies and booby traps always remind you where you at. Sadly, I just listed the whole roster, but sometimes less components only solidify a structure. You get your plot going in-between encounters, then get thrown in a semi-open area to fight for your constitutional right to dumpster-dive in peace. In TLOU, rags are the riches used in an emergent crafting system. Got a bat, some tape, and shivs? A makeshift macuahuitl would last you a couple of kills. Found a manual on bombs? Get better ones. Sometimes you find tools for higher-tier gear upgrades: additional quick slots, ammo capacity, reload speed, etc. The guns are fab! Crafting materials needed for certain stuff intersect, introducing tough choices to make on the fly. A constant stream of loot provides your hands with something to do and your mind - with dopamine. It's scientifically precise and realistic in a sense. Easy to reach places don't have much to offer, a damp cellar ridden with infectious spores is where it's at. Closure It's precious - to forget the melting glaciers of our old world for a few hours, leaving behind our grief for a demented dream that melts with them as we enter someone else's nightmare, so close yet far-out. If the world we build is a mandala at its core, then what is a post-apocalyptic game if not a meditation on its impermanence? There were plenty of extinction events in the history of Earth when 99% of all life perished, but the one portrayed in The Last of Us is humanity's personal apocalypse. The nature thrives, sprawling across the ruins, while humans skitter around like rats in a maze built by their ancestors. This is the world of hurt where you either can handle the pain or sink in despair. Or become some cannibal's sex pig, whichever fate prefers. But it's not your turn yet and it feels good.

I honestly can’t believe how they managed to make a game with such limited gameplay, yet do everything else so perfectly that it went down in history. This is my fifth completion on PC after playing it first on PlayStation. Truly one of the greatest games of all time. 10/10.
back in 2013, i learned what console exclusives are. i watched someone else play the last of us on youtube after coming to the conclusion that i won't ever get the chance to play it myself. it was one of the most memorable moments i had in gaming and i wasn't even the one playing. 12 years later, i actually had the chance to play it myself and finish it. 12 whole years later and it's still one of the most compelling games ever made. the graphics makes you stop and take a second to admire again and again. the transitions from cutscene to gameplay so seamless you don't even notice you're back playing the game. the music , there to help immerse you in the world and story but also doesn't hesitate to hang back and leave you in silence at times. perfectly fitting the eerie feeling as you explore the empty roads and buildings that were once teeming with people. the voice acting and performance so natural it felt like you were just watching an actual show just from the intro. the same voice acting that makes you fond of the characters as they interact and talk about the world as you play. the gameplay , smooth as butter. from movement to combat, you just know they worked hard to make it they way it is. all of these things perfectly complementing each other to bring us a masterpiece of a game. no matter what type of game you prefer playing, this is one of those games that is a must play. these types of games doesn't come around too often, so if you ever get the chance, give it a shot. man, what a game. never kill yourself
