Game Overview
The Last of Us is a genre-defining experience that blends survival and action elements to tell a character-driven story about a population decimated by a modern plague. Set twenty years after a pandemic has radically changed civilization, you play as Joel, a hardened survivor hired to smuggle a 14-year-old girl, Ellie, out of an oppressive military quarantine zone. What starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal, heartbreaking journey across the post-pandemic United States.
Hailed as a masterpiece, the game forces you to contend with two primary threats: the Infected, humans mutated by the Cordyceps fungus into terrifying creatures, and other desperate survivors who will kill for food, weapons, or whatever they can get their hands on. It’s a story of survival, loyalty, and love, and a testament to the power of narrative in video games.
