What follows is a roughly 11-hour caravan of courage across increasingly hostile territory. Curiously, the cargo is a plucky yet inexperienced 14-year-old named Ellie. Fate soon brings him into the path of some resistance fighters called the Fireflies, who subsequently contract him and his equally ruthless partner, Tess, for a delivery gig. You’ll be slipping into the flannel/jeans combo of Joel, a grizzled, gun-running smuggler who’s done terrible things to eke out an existence. In 20 years, the skeleton of this world is still overrun with cannibalistic mutants, though it’s the human survivors who often prove to be more monstrous When it comes to a brief plot synopsis, The Last of Us is best described as a road trip across a ruined America that’s gone to the dogs and then some. In the interest of not spoiling the lucky few who are biting into this fresh, I’ve quarantined all spoiler content. Couple that with Gustavo Santaolalla’s haunting soundtrack, and the meat of this post-pandemic pie is delicious, even before you try to upgrade the pastry. That is the irresistibility of edge-of-your-seat combat where behaviours change and every shot, shiv and limb-shredding IED counts. That is the timeless power of a tightly written story with magnetic performances. Even though Part I may technically be ‘ The Last of the Last of the Last of Us,’ I’ll be damned if it didn’t woo me like the first time.

It got under my skin effortlessly, quicker than a cordyceps spore. The Last of Us Part I still hits harder than a weaponised bus “rambush”.
