2013.14: The Last Of Us

Completed in 13hours:28mins on HARD with NO LISTEN MODE

I really liked how much more open and intuitive the combat felt to me over ND's previous attempts and getting through an area with low resources was a challenge we haven't faced in a long time! It was very fresh and great to feel that again.

Outside that gameplay you get a story nicely told and presented, as one would expect. It takes you through different seasons and many different scenarios so it never really feels repetitive. They did a great job portraying a long journey without making it feel tedious.

This is a quick of overview of the key components more than anything else, as I too wanted to keep it vague. So overall, there was enough love and heart in the overall package to make it a 'great' (8/10) experience but with some key flaws [mentioned in my rant] that stops it from being 'amazing' (9/10) or 'exceptional' (10/10) for me.

A great journey to partake in;

8/10.
