DEVELOPER: Naughty Dog
WHAT’S IT ABOUT?: The Last of Us is the neo-classic PlayStation 3 game about a mercenary who is hired to lead a young girl out of a military quarantine zone in a world that’s been taken over by a pandemic of some sort.
While tales of people surviving in an apocalyptic age is nothing new, this game benefits from Naughty Dog’s arresting visual style and their pedigree for cinematic titles with stuff like Uncharted.
This remaster takes the base game and adds all the downloadable content such as map packs and the short aside called Left Behind which tackles life for protagonist Ellie before the events of The Last of Us.
WHY DO I CARE?: I live in a world where owning every console is just simply not going to happen. And that’s OK; there’s been a lot of homogenization between the likes of Xbox and PlayStation, so it really comes down to what each first party has to offer.
If there’s one game that I feel like I missed out on in the PS3/360 era, it was The Last of Us. While I don’t own a PS4 yet, this game being on it means I can finally dig into what looks like an interesting adventure in the vein of The Walking Dead and has been heralded by quite a few of my online buddies when I do.
