The Last Of Us
Release: 2013
Platforms: PS3, PS4 (remastered)
I envy people who haven’t played The Last of Us. Like a truly great movie, television series or book, you have no idea what you’re getting yourself into until you dive into this world. Playing it again is not quite the same, nor could it ever hope to be. The shocks, turns and forks in this tale are designed to leave your jaw on the floor from the first time of asking. Good thing there’s a sequel coming, but if you’ve yet to get to grips with this classic, or have family members who are “sorta into gaming,” there’s no better entry point than this.
Storytelling perfection, The Last of Us is the kind of game we can show our parents and be proud of our favorite hobby. Mortgage your house, sell your cat – do what it takes to get hold of this gem. The remastered version is available on PS4, while the PS3 original retails for $10.
