30 Best Video Games Of All Time

17. The Last Of Us

The game that cemented Naughty Dog as one of the finest developers on the planet, showing off genuinely Oscar-worthy acting performances and some of the best visuals on the PS3 at the time to boot, The Last of Us is a game so close to many peoples' hearts, it's hard to think of it as anything other than flawless.

However, if we're getting to the nitty gritty, TLoU's best moments come not from gameplay but cutscene, and not from interactivity but seeing the culmination of every major plot beat surge forward in some expertly directed acting sequences. Now, where this does factor into still ranking very high comes from how all the time spent journeying together as Joel and Ellie truly fleshes out their characters.

From contextual actions to personable, revealing dialogue, the pair really go on a exploration of each other's mentalities towards survival and pushing forward in the face of disastrous odds. The Last of Us also has one of the most experimental and ballsy endings in gaming history - one where all that pent up weight and character dependance is laid bare, leaving you to pick a side and debate forevermore as to who was right and wrong.
