20 Best Video Games Of The Last 20 Years

3. The Last Of Us

From one landmark narrative to another, The Last of Us sees a matured Naughty Dog tackle their most controversial subject matter yet: How far would you go to save someone you cared about? And do the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few?

You'll come face to face with that question as the story begins to wrap up, but TLoU has so much more to offer than just an impactful narrative. Characters and cutscenes for one; The Last of Us proved that Naughty Dog operate on another level entirely when it comes to animation, and that's before you get to the post-apocalyptic landscape of Boston itself; covered in remnants of a deceased populace, all interacted and commented on by the fresh-faced newcomer to these lands, Ellie.

The game's intro alone secured its place in the history books, ensuring that even if you didn't see it all the way through, you've still experienced a genuinely Oscar-worthy performance from actor, Troy Baker.
