Pros
Pro Simple but useful crafting system
This game has a very simple crafting system where you collect scraps and combine them to make items. You can also craft weapons such as the Molotov cocktail and the nail bomb. Both weapons can take out most enemies instantly. It's quite refreshing to see such an accessible and useful crafting system.
Pro A truly great and immersive story
The Last of Us is ripe with choices, which is the first step toward an immersive story. The choices you make will have a lot of moral grey areas, as well as heavy effect on the game. You'll really feel the weight of some of them. The Last of Us really drags you into the world, you will actually care about the characters and want to watch their stories unfold.
Pro Emotional story with characters you can relate to
The Last of Us is story about loss, family, and protecting your loved ones. From beginning to the end it's filled with sad scenes and touching moments, so you're in for a ride.
It also deals with the harsh reality of surviving in a post-apocalyptic world. Kindness gets you nowhere and only the cold-hearted can truly survive. Even if you make the right choice, you'll still have regrets, which sticks with you and changes you. In the end everyone's just trying make the best out of a bad situation. That makes you think how far you'd go to survive and how long you'd still be your old self. Having characters you can relate to makes the story a lot more enjoyable.
