WHAT IS THE LAST OF US?
The Last of Us was released in 2013 on PS3. This is a fairly classic third-person action/adventure game in its gameplay: you progress through levels and alternate between infiltration phases and action phases. Here is the trailer from the time:
What marked the players was the writing of the title and its universe. TLOU tells the story of Joel. Twenty years after the start of the zombie apocalypse, the world is in agony and our hero tries to survive somehow. Having lost his daughter at the start of the disaster, he is completely disillusioned. He is then entrusted with a strange mission: to escort a young teenager, Ellie, to the other end of the United States. Little by little, a strong relationship will be forged between the two, Joel seeing in Ellie his missing daughter. A twilight road-trip inspired by the novel The Road by Cormac McCarthy.
Upon its release, The Last of Us was a critical and commercial hit. Even today, it peaks at 95 out of 100 on the aggregator Metacritic. This is one of the highest rated games in history! In 2014, the Naughty Dog studio continued to ride the wave by releasing a "Remastered" version of its title for the PS4, with smooth graphics. In 2020, the game was entitled to a sequel: The Last of Us Part II. Again, the reviews were unanimous. The score on Metacritic is 93 out of 100.
