20 Best Video Game Stories Ever
6. The Last Of Us
Is it the obvious choice? Yes, yes it is. But some things are obvious because they're true.
The Last Of Us is easily one of the most influential games made in the last several decades, its release back in 2013 marking a fundamental shift in not just how Naughty Dog made games, but in how game stories would be told.
The story of Joel and Ellie traversing a post-apocalyptic America to find a cure for the zombie-like plague that caused said apocalypse is one that has forever marked itself onto the minds of an entire generation of gamers for its harrowing, bleak, but still beautiful tale of what the human race will do to protect its own when faced with the absolute worst conditions possible.
To call the story emotional would be to compete for the understatement of the year, and while I personally have problems with the ending, this is a game that's about the journey, and that journey is unrivaled to this day.
