One would really feel the attachment to the characters and to their goals through the journey.
The Last of Us takes place 20 years after the Cordyceps infection destroys a huge part of the world’s population. One of the main protagonists, Joel experienced hell in that event and spent years living and smuggling in a military protected quarantine zone at Boston. He used to work with Tess and while on a smuggling operation, they met Ellie, a fourteen year old girl together with Marlene who used to be the leader of the Fireflies and a survivor of the outbreak. The Fireflies is a group that seeks to find a cure for the infection and Joel was tasked to take Ellie in the west in exchange for guns.
The plot of the story was well written and I never expected this for the genre.
The Last of Us showcases a brutal combat and violence filled with a strongly carried out story. As we all know Naughty Dogs are one of the best when it comes to cutscenes and it never failed to amaze me and that's just one of the simple reasons why The Last of Us is GameHaunt's Best Story of 2013.
The Last of Us is still available at Sony Online Store for SGD 56.90. You can also check out a bunch of addons that could spice up your experience such as costumes and map packs so make sure to check them out.
