I'd like to apologize for the amount of spoilers but they were necessary.
The Last Of Us is one of the best games I've ever played in my entire life. This game handles some difficult material. Last Of Us will provide excellent results if you watch all the cut scenes, be in a silent room and gather all the emotions the game delivers you won't regret anything.
You play as Joel Miller, a single middle aged father raising one daughter. During this prologue, her daughter Sarah buys him a watch on his birthday which plays a big part later in the game. Later during the beginning, Joel disappears and you take the control of Sarah.
When the zombie infection blossoms, Joel grabs Sarah and gets picked up by his brother Tommy. While on the ride away from their house, they get into a collision. When this occurred, Sarah hurt her leg so Joel carried her down to this ravine.

The relationship between these two tugged at my heartstrings, they become so adorable and co-dependent that it makes this game so enjoyable.Throughout one of the latest chapters, you're controlling Ellie during a harsh and cruel winter because of Joel's incident. Ellie meets a man named David which at the beginning, he seems to be real nice and calm but

. Joel comes in and comforts her and wipes her tears away. This game is intense because of the varied zombies you encounter and the human gangs you come across. Heavily recommended to play either on easy or normal the first time. This game perfectly depicts the teenage phases of maturity and hits on some pretty serious issues throughout a persons life. Heavily filled with sexuality, family issues, and basic teenage angst. For me it made me to want to have a daughter. Joel treats Ellie at first pretty harshly but, it blossoms into a very beautiful and loving relationship. The script is amazing and there are no absolute dull moments. There are especially power ups and you gather more weapons along the way. If you haven't played the ending yet, you may not wanna read this part.

When the last part of the game comes to a close and you reach the fireflies camp,they have to kill her to get the vaccine. Joel won't allow Ellie to die so basically you go in there guns blazing and take Ellie to safety.

The ending is amazing and you'll be dumbfounded and entranced. This game is by far one of the best stories ever told on a video game and heres my ratings. Also when you beat the game, theres online multiplayer thats quite entertaining. I heavily consider getting this game if you're into a good story and a fan of zombie apocalypses.
