As one of the most celebrated franchises in gaming, The Last of Us has had numerous successes. The franchise consists of two game releases and a third installment rumored, and a highly acclaimed live-action series on the HBO Max streaming service. The heart-rending story of the end of the world, where the last fragments of humanity try to survive, is a common trope. However, The Last Of Us has captured lightning in a bottle by putting the human factor at the forefront.
