10 Best Post-Apocalyptic Games To Play Until Fallout 4 Arrives
3. The Last Of Us: Remastered
With the small amount of time left before Fallout 4 lands and consumes every waking moment of your life, maybe a condensed yet extremely rewarding post-apocalyptic story is just what you need. Theres no better game to do this with than The Last of Us: Remastered. And no, this isn't yet another zombie-survival game - cannibalistic, deformed ex-humans whove been infected by an aggressive fungus do not count as zombies. The Last of Us is a masterpiece of video game storytelling, following Joel (washed-out Nathan Drake) and Ellie (not Ellen Page) across a ruined America with the aim of finding a cure for the fungal virus. Its pacing is sublime, with Naughty Dog using all the tricks they learned in the Uncharted series and putting them to more hard-hitting, emotionally weighty effect. Similarity to Fallout 4: Based on past form, its hard to imagine Fallout 4s main story matching whats arguably one of the best video game plots of all time. But that wont be the games aim, and its equally likely that the majority of people will spend much more time with Fallout 4 than they will with The Last of Us overall.. One is a vast, sprawling vision of post-apocalyptic America where you craft your own story, the other is an intimate portrait of two peoples quest for survival. Really, you need them both in your life.
