The Last of Us is an action-adventure survival horror video game developed by Naughty Dogand published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 3.

“It is a genre-defining experience blending survival and action elements to tell a character driven story about a population decimated by a modern plague.

20 years after a pandemic has radically changed known civilization, cities are abandoned and being reclaimed by nature, infected humans run wild and survivors are killing each other for food, weapons; whatever they can get their hands on.

Joel, a violent survivor, is hired to smuggle a 14 year-old girl, Ellie, out of an oppressive military quarantine zone, but what starts as a small job soon transforms into a brutal journey across the U.S.”
