Borrowing so heavily from The Road (both novel and film), The Last Of Us is, thematically, an inferior clone of Cormac McCarthy's work of genius and John Hillcoat's equally genius adaptation of it for cinema. Take the cut scenes of The Last Of Us in isolation and it's like a somewhat less confronting version of McCarthy's narrative... and considering the confrontational nature of the narrative was key to its theme, dampening that effect didn't help The Last Of Us drive through an especially memorable narrative.
Add in the gameplay sections where you slaughter legions of enemies without a second thought, and the end result is a game that has impactful cut scenes broken up some really fun and challenging combat challenge rooms, but all at the expense of pacing (look up ludonarrative dissonance for more on this topic)."

They are working on something new. Not to be rude but it is impossibility stupid to think ND next major announcement is going to be a remaster or their next Last of Us entry is going to be another remaster.
The team is sad for losing out on such a great project but celebrates its growth because of spending time on it.
All they had to do was make a basic online mode like their previous games. Instead they wanted more money and choose to go live service which makes games worse in my opinion.
What a waste of time and money, what a shame.
Not sure why they didn’t just make Factions 2. There was no need to make it a live service.
TLoU Factions was a great addition such a shame they couldn’t be bothered to remaster that for PS5 considering the crazy high price tag of the remaster of a remaster…
This is something to be celebrated. This studio is smart and they get it, even factions 2 wouldn't've have been worth the time. I am surprised they didn't just remaster the first one though, but actually how popular was Factions?
Because it is incredibly overrated. (in my opinion)
You should be annoyed that you have no taste.
This article is a joke, why should he get annoyed because other people picked this as GOTY?
But I'm pretty sure this is just a bait to get clicks.
The last of us deserves every bit of praise =)
at this point it's safe to say this is the greatest game in the seventh console generation
The Last Of Us is definately more than a blockbuster movie. What a troll.
You finish it mess around with the multiplayer and move on? Hell no.
I finished this game 4 times already and I am not the only one, hell all my friends at least played it two times!!
There is way more to TLOU than just a fun action flic.
Maybe the author should start to realize that, especially after over 200 GOTY awards
