Storyline

Trivia
'The infected' were inspired by an episode of the BBC Documentary Planet Earth (2006) that featured Cordyceps - a killer fungi which invades the bodies of ants and can actually exercise a basic control over the insect's motor functions. The infected ant will climb up high and die in a position that allows the fungus's spores to travel farther and reach another host. It was featured in the episode titled "Jungles" (Jungles (2006)).

Goofs
Gas expires in a matter of months. After 20 years, untreated gas would not be usable in the vehicles the characters commandeer.

Quotes
Ellie: That girl is so skinny... I thought you had plenty of food in your time.
Joel: We did. Some just chose not to eat it.
Ellie: Why the hell not?
Joel: For looks.
Ellie: Pffft, that's stupid.

Alternate versions
There are three unique versions of this game that were released across different regions. North America: Completely uncut. Europe/Australia/New Zealand: Multiplayer censored to remove the gore, campaign is left untouched. Japan: Censored even more to remove the gore from the campaign as well and the cutscene where a corpse was getting butchered is now done off-screen.

Featured review

10/10

6 years late...Actually 6 years and still holding up.

Before I begin this review I've played other big name games, ranging in ratings that is. Such as The Witcher 3, Red Dead Redemption 2, Batman Arkham City, Portal 2, etc. Never have I played a game so human though as The Last Of Us.

When the game first released I was too young to play, and it really felt bad having to wait to play. 6 years later here I am, got it for the PS4 and started playing. Was I ready for the emotional rollercoaster of the first 20 minutes? Nope. Was I ready for how absolutely mind blowing the game would be after that? Nope. Will I ever forget my experience with this game? Not for a second. This game really takes it home for me when it comes to big name games (listed up top). The characters are human and you can feel their every emotion, the story is so captivating and great pacing. The score by Gustavo Santaolalla is very suiting for this game. Everything about this game just lines up perfect. This game may just be the definition of masterpiece, not just in gaming, but period.

A must play to any human ever!
