The Last of Us

Pros

• As an Uncharted enthusiast, I found The Last of Us a gripping experience, up until the >!winter level and diner boss fight!< were too nerve-wracking for me to continue.

• Since we're here, do you game? Same game now with games... lol, I give you The Last Of Us.
• The thought provoking ending is fantastic and helped to cement The Last of Us as one of the most iconic stories in gaming.
• The Last of Us was a game I’d been meaning to replay for the last few months in preparation for the sequel. It was actually my patient game of the year for 2024, so I was looking forward to the replay.

• And then there are games like The Last of Us where it’s hard to pin down. Human enemies can take a lot of bullets on Grounded but you die in a couple shots. So maybe Hard difficulty would be the most immersive.
• Then, the game decides it wants to be The Last of Us and unceremoniously kills your dearly beloved slave-buddy-mentor off screen
