You can't soil your hands with the blood of hundreds and still have room for love in your heart.
Because The Last of Us is an action game that adheres to the established template of the genre, over the course of your journey you murder not just one or five or 12 people, but dozens and dozens of them, and it's questionable whether a man who treats the lives of so many of his fellow human beings as so disposable would really be capable of placing any meaningful importance on the life of one particular individual. Still, if you think too carefully about the importance the story places on the connection between these two characters, things start to fall apart a bit. While Joel seems dead inside, Ellie is very much alive, and over the course of the game, neither Joel, nor you, can avoid growing attached to her.
In contrast to Joel's cynicism, Ellie is still capable of wide-eyed wonder. And although that humanity comes through in all of the game's major characters, it's the teenager Ellie who is the game's emotional heart. A hard, bitter man, Joel isn't likable, but he is at least understandable, in large part because the dialogue in The Last of Us is so human and believable. Perhaps nobody knows the dangers of loving others in this uncertain world better than Joel, the protagonist of The Last of Us. It's one of the best adventures of the last console generation, and it's fully deserving of the special-edition treatment it gets here. The Last of Us Remastered is still The Last of Us, and that is no bad thing. But the reality is that the game already looked so good on the PlayStation 3 that the visual enhancements can't do all that much to improve your experience. In side-by-side comparisons, it also becomes apparent that the textures are sharper and the draw distance has been increased. Naughty Dog's acclaimed action game has made its way to the PlayStation 4 as The Last of Us Remastered, and if you've played the game on the PlayStation 3, you'll probably notice that it runs at a higher frame rate and that the lighting is richer and moodier in this release. And as many characters in the game know, in a world where the survival of anyone from one day to the next is uncertain, attachments, connections, love-these things can become liabilities. In this post-pandemic military-ruled society, the most anyone can hope for is merely to survive. What makes life worth living? The Last of Us tries to answer that question by giving us a vision of a world that makes no room for people to really live their lives anymore.
