    I’ll take your word for it but I never played it myself since I’m not really into the whole survival genre 🤷

      Oh my god you’re missing it. It isn’t a survival game. It is a masterpiece of story telling.

      I haven’t played it since the month it was released, but thinking about it still makes the hairs on my arms stand up. Within 5 minutes of playing the game I was on an emotional rollercoaster. It might be the only game I ever played that hit me that hard, with Red Dead 2 trailing it by a mile despite being the best game I’ve played in years.

      You are cheating yourself if you never play it. I do not like survival games either, at all. Not even a little bit. The Last of Us might be the greatest game ever made.

        It’s like you get to play the main character in a movie - a really good movie. I would agree, it’s one of the best games ever!

          Yes! This is how it felt to me. I would have been almost as happy just to see it as an animated movie. It was amazing and took games as a whole forward, and you knew it within the first few minutes of playing it. Like, I legit felt like that was the moment that games truly crossed over into art. That is kind of an exaggeration, but not by a lot. Damn I want to buy it and play it on my Steam deck haha. I still have my ps3 copy but no ps3.

      If you like story driven games, it’s pretty good, if you look for good gameplay, this is not it.

      Your comment made me go and buy it for my Steam deck. Even knowing what is coming I’m having a blast 11 years later. I have already bawled my eyes out and I’ve forgotten enough that I can’t wait to get into it fully again.

      Thank you.

      Please play it. Seriously. Do it for me and come back to me. If I wasn’t so damn poor I’d buy it for you. If nothing else watch the opening part on YouTube and see if it doesn’t hook you.

      The Last of Us is as much of a survival game as Elden Ring is a toddler-level Peppa Pig clone. You are crazy to pass from playing TLoU it is a fucking magnum opus chefs kiss of a video game.
