6. The Last Of Us

Naughty Dog

A milestone in regards to being millions of players' first "emotional game".

While many of the previous generation were sobbing for days over Aerith's passing in Final Fantasy VII, The Last of Us was a more mature approach to storytelling, centring on Joel and Ellie's tale of strained father/daughterhood and survival.

Those themes take the pair on a journey we all know like the back of our hand, straying through morally grey territory and ultimately ending on a question with an answer that divides rooms.

The Last of Us was another MASSIVE step up for Naughty Dog as a studio; a combination of story and gameplay that compliments each side in equal measure.
