Thoughts on Last of Us

[Wooderson]

Good article as usual. Brought up a lot of points that needed to be made.

I think Naughty Dog nailed it with this game. Yes combat played a big role in getting the narrative to move onward and I agree, recently games seem to be just that. Action sells, and in the unoriginal world the game is set in it was unavoidable. The combat was pretty fun too.

The notes in the sewers (Ish's story) was one of my favourite elements of the game.

I have to be honest, I could have been half as impressed with the game and loved it because great games like this don't come out often. But thats just my perspective. I love a good storyline driven game, a lot of people sadly don't even pay attention to it and skip cutscenes in games and avoid reading notes etc.

One final unrelated thing, its really sad a lot of Xbox owners won't be able to experience this game.
