The Last Of Us
The Last of Us is a great, innovative survival horror brought to us by Naughty Dog, the creators of Uncharted series. The game mixes dynamic, action-packed sequences with elements of an adventure game. The story is quite unsettling. It takes place in near future in which our civilization has been practically eradicated. A mysterious disease took over the world, killing the majority of the human race.
Murderous plants and infected mutants roam through the abandoned cities and the survivors that are still left fight each other to get the remaining food and weapons. This particular history is about a couple of survivor, a forty-year-old smuggler Joel and a teenage orphan Ellie. They try to live to see another day in the world full of dangers waiting at every corner. We mainly control Joel, while his companion is steered by AI. Ellie assists us during fights, suggests where we should go next and warns us of incoming enemies. The players will have to fight both alive people and the victims of the infection.
We can use firearms which can kill and opponent with one good shot, but such good weapons are really scarce. Usually, we use improvised weapons like bricks. Apart from fighting, sometimes we need to play platformer style or solve simple puzzles. The game features a simple crafting system, too, which lets us create useful, though not too complex objects. In The Last of Us, the enemies are really intelligent. They can dynamically react to the situation on the battlefield. They hide behind covers or take advantage of their number. They also know how powerful firearms are: some may even decide to retreat after they see us with a pistol or a rifle. Apart from the story mode, the game also includes some well-developed multiplayer modes in which we can make further use of the crafting system known from the single player mode.
