The Ninth Generation Retrospective - The Last of Us Part 1
0Only once in a generation does there come along a game that sets a standard for not only its entire generation but for generations that succeed its time. Such a game is Naughty Dog's The Last of Us, a masterwork of storytelling and gameplay that's rarely seen in the gaming industry. With a truly impressive list of accolades that many beginner development studios can only dream to achieve, Naughty Dog launched themselves beyond the A List of development studios with this applauded and revered 2013 action adventure game which dives into many subgenres from action to horror to drama to comedy without losing momentum.
Featuring a whole cast of beloved characters all the while spawning two gaming icons with protagonists Joel and Ellie, now two of the most recognizable videogame characters ever created, The Last of Us has become not just a sensation in the arena of video games but a monument in pop culture in general. With one of the most devote fanbases in the world, The Last of Us is a game that deserves to be analyzed for its accomplishments both as a narrative piece of cinematic storytelling and as an engaging interactive experience.
While criticism has been fierce over the years in minority groups arguing against the game's true quality, it takes nothing away from a game that reached a massive audience both within and outside of the general gaming community.
