What even is there to be said about The Last Of Us that hasn't been said over a thousand times before? Ask anyone who's ever played the game and they'll tell you all the ways that it's one of the most groundbreaking achievements in the history of modern gaming. Over the years, The last of has become one of the most highly regarded and incredibly renowned games of all time, and it's not hard to see why. From incredibly complex and well written characters, to exceptional worldbuilding and above all else some of the most remarkably profound storytelling and narrative craftsmanship I've seen in any medium. It's a phenomenal game, and to its credit, the TV series adaptation made for HBO was actually a lot more respectful to the source material than I think a lot of us were expecting it to be, and even as a standalone take on the game's story, I agree that it's an excellent series in its own right.
