10 Most Terrifying Monsters In Video Game History
2. The Last Of Us - Clicker
The Last Of Us might just be the best received video game of the last decade. Since its release and subsequent remaster, praise has been lavished on its voice acting, atmosphere, and gripping story. What goes under the radar is just how great some of the post-apocalyptic monsters which populate the world are, with the best of the lot being the terrifying clickers.
The third stage of the devastating viral infection that fuels the narrative, by the time a blighted victim becomes a clicker, there’s hardly anything recognisably human left about them.
Boasting a fungus-like growth in lieu of a head and supernatural strength, they are a walking example of just how doomed humanity is in The Last Of Us. The game uses them sparingly, and this makes them all the more frightening; coming across a clicker is at the back of the player’s mind from the first time they encounter one
They’re not the hardest enemy to kill, but they’re among the most unnerving, navigating using sonar and never giving up once they’ve locked onto their prey. Once you’ve discovered a clicker, it’ll change the way you play the game.
