The Last of Us was Released in 2013 on the PS3 and later released for the PS4. When it first released; it was acclaimed as the best game of our generation. But, what makes this post-pandemic game life changing?
  The Last of Us throws you into a dangerous world where infection is everywhere and people fight just to survive. The character you play as, Joel, finds himself in the very situation. But, the pain Joel feels starts at the very beginning of the game. I won't spoil what happens in case you haven't played it yet.
  The people you come across are trying survive in their own way. Whether it's by forming a community or resorting to cannibalism. Every encounter is so deep and really puts you into a situation where you have to question your own morals. Sometimes it forces you to do so. But, you also feel Joel's struggle for the one he cares about, Ellie.
  Your interactions with Ellie gives you a sense of being protective. I have only played through the game once and I can say that the emotional connection I felt with both characters are genuine. With the optiional conversations you can have, or the way both characters have each others backs; you do feel a connection with them.
  The other survivors in the game show that peiple, in times of great desperation, will resort to survival by any means necessary. How they call you out if you are out of ammo. Trying to ambush you from every side, Really makes me think differently about the world around me.
  The Last of Us is probably my most favorite game of all time! The game shows that the world is only out to save itself. It shows that no matter what, you should always find something to fight for. This game has made me rethink my life. What would I do if I was put into situations like the ones in The Last of Us? Would I fight for what's right, or for my own selfish gain?
  If you haven't played this game yet I suggest that you do. It's a great game with an interesting story, amazing graphics, and awesome combat. You will enjoy this game! That is a guarantee!
