Twenty years after the outbreak of a parasitic fungus which takes over the neural functions of humans, Joel, a Texan with a tragic familial past, finds himself responsible with smuggling a fourteen year old girl named Ellie to a militia group called the Fireflies, while avoiding strict and deadly authorities, infected fungal hosts and other violent survivors.

About the story

Joel, a ruthless survivor with few moral lines left to cross, lives in one of the last remaining Quarantine Zones. These walled-off, oppressive cities are run by what’s left of the military. Despite the strict martial law, Joel operates in the black market of the city, smuggling contraband for the right price. Joel is asked by a dying friend to look after Ellie, a fourteen-year-old girl with courage beyond her years. What starts out as a simple job to deliver Ellie to another Quarantine Zone, soon transforms into a profound journey that will forever change Joel and Ellie. As they journey across a post-pandemic United States, Joel and Ellie will encounter different factions of survivors that have each found a unique way of dealing with the infected humans, the lack of supplies, and the threat of other survivors. As Joel and Ellie struggle to persevere, they must learn to trust each other and work together in order to survive the realities of this new world.

We've reached the end of this analysis of The Last of Us Part 1, and for me, the initial questions don't entirely favor this re-release of the Naughty Dog classic. While the technical polish is evident and palpable, the stark contrast between the price and the quality and quantity of the offer can't be overlooked. The content is identical to the PS4 release, which can be found for a fraction of the cost (or free with PlayStation Plus). Thus, the rating below considers this imbalance, which, while not affecting the game's quality, makes this commercial move seem too bold and audacious this time.
