The Last of Us Review
The Last of Us released to absurd fanfare in 2013. Quickly compared to Citizen Kane, cited as proof of the storytelling potential of games, and now shifting to proving legacy media's superiority in the TV adaption. Yet, I kind of love it - much of that directed at something that doesn't seem intended by the creators, complicating things further.

The Bottom Line [★ ★★ ★☆ ] Great storytelling execution, solid atmosphere and environmental storytelling, and a fantastic ending. The overall pacing is marred by tedious traversal, and the gameplay is very mixed, some high points but a lot of issues. Left Behind is more intimate, not as hard hitting as the main game but solid storytelling and the arcade is brilliant. Letting you turn infected against other humans is neat, probably the best event / set piece style content in the package. Game Methods I played the remaster in Novembe
