Towards the end of the PlayStation 3's lifespan, Naughty Dog released a game that changed the gaming world forever. There were plenty of zombie survival horror games before The Last of Us, but the game managed to stand out from the hordes of other zombie games thanks to its addictive combat, breathtaking visuals, and emotional narrative about keeping love alive in a hostile world. It also features a duo consisting of Joel Miller, who is a gruff weapons smuggler that has learned to harden his heart to deal with the ruthlessness of post-apocalyptic society, and Ellie, who is a young but feisty girl who is forced to grow up quickly.
