The Last of Us

Naughty Dog has done another great game with this survival post apocalyptic world that has neither zombies or aliens as the main enemies but other humans trying to survive this new harsh reality.The game feels like a true survival story game play where almost everything has to be ration carefully from food to first aid. Also the game isn't only a third person shooter,that's not the point but more on using your environment and the tools and equipment to help you along your mission. The characters are also very well thought out and done in the story as you learn their history and not only the main characters but other characters along the way that both hinder and help you. The environmental effects and background are incredible in the game and the A.I. is pretty decent too, meaning when you try and distract an enemy with a bottle or something it won't just dumbly follow the noise but keep looking around so you can't just assume the enemy is going to the noise and won't pay attention to anything else. The character voice cast picked for this did a terrific job in their character roles bringing incredible believability in the game making you almost feel like it's happening to these characters for real, also the personal history you see and learn later on really helps you connect to them especially the tragedy that befell Joel and the reason for his now harsher outlook on life and his almost apathetic nature to what's happening with the world.Ellie is also understandable in her personality and while she sometimes seems naive you can also see she understands the nature of what's going on and has a more understanding of the actions needed to survive then you might suspect from a young teenager. The game also allows you to upgrade a little like the new Tomb Raider from weapons to first aid equipment and also like with Uncharted you can fight if needed unarmed so you're not helpless if you have no ammo though you are at a disadvantage. So for those looking for another great game from Naughty Dog here it is and trust me you'll get your dose of action/drama/tragedy/humor(Not much) that will have you playing this game for hours without noticing how much time has passed.
