The Last of Us (2013 Video Game)
9/10
Believe the Hype
4 July 2013
I've never been so moved by a video game. Terrified, awed and brought to tears in the first 20 minutes. This is the apocalypse and this is exactly how I have always imagined it would go down, quickly, brutally and without mercy or remorse. The realism here is intense. Initially there is chaos all around you. Cars crashing and exploding, buildings on fire, people running in all directions and the infected......These infected are fast and furious and not so much hungry for flesh as filled with pure rage and hellbent on killing all humans just cause....reminiscent of the rage infected undead from 28 Days Later. Whatever you do don't stop running. These are not Zombies as we know them, they are something entirely new and certainly not out of the realm of possibility, although an extremely far fetched one. I have been waiting with baited breath for this title ever since I heard of it's conception. I knew it would be something special, something different and Naughty Dog have certainly lived up to the hype. Visually stunning, superbly acted, this game is a work of art.
