The Last of Us (2013 Video Game)
10/10
The Best PlayStation Exclusive (After FFVII Personally)
27 February 2022
Uncharted 2-4, God of War, Final Fantasy VII, Spider Man PS4, these are all PlayStation exclusives that once you play, they are games you won't forget. Each one has at least one absolutely amazing thing about it to anyone, whether it's the graphics, the characters, the story, the locations etc. The Last of Us is all of these things and more. It's graphics still hold up after 9 years, the story is outstanding, the characters feel so real and detailed (especially Joel and Ellie and their relationship that's built up throughout the game) and the locations are detailed filled with jaw dropping scenery.

The story is about Joel, a middle aged man who faced tragedy after the beginning of a zombie virus outbreak twenty years ago. He and his partner Tess meet Ellie, a fourteen year old girl who was bitten by a zombie and should have turned into a monster but didn't. Ellie has the cure for mankind's biggest tragedy ever, and the fate of millions are within these people's hands.

On top of the amazing story, the game is very realistic. You mainly take control of Joel who isn't a super human like Nathan Drake who has about a thousand bullets no, Joel has VERY limited ammunition and you have to be very careful about shooting or using melee weapons because after a few shots with a gun, your ammo runs out and after a few hits with a melee weapon it breaks so you have to use your supplies wisely. You're never totally screwed if you have no ammo or no melee weapons though because you can observe the local area to find more ammunition or melee weapons and you can find explosives and bricks and bottles to toss in an enemy's direction. You can upgrade weapons and gear too on a special worktable in certain areas (such upgrades include faster reload speeds). This is THE experience on PlayStation 3 and 4, and will stick with me for a long, long time.
