The Last of Us
Created by Naughty Dog, the studio of Uncharted fame, The Last of Us has the player take control of Joel, who protects the young Ellie on their odyssey through the wasteland of the United States, depopulated by a devastating fungus plague outbreak that killed most people while turning some into mindless, undead creatures. While The Last of Us is an action game to some extent, the focus of the game is stealth and evasion of hostiles rather than head on confrontations. Also, while the concept might make it sound like a feature length escort quest, Ellie won’t need the player’s constant attention.
