Lost in The Last of Us

The Last of Us, first released for the Playstation 3 in 2013, has enjoyed no shortage of popularity, acclaim, and analysis over the last decade; especially after HBO’s live-action adaptation of the Naughty Dog-developed game. The plight of Joel and Ellie's post-apocalyptic road trip is a simple, albeit emotionally-powerful story, but so much of The Last of Us's minor touches of brilliance tend to go overlooked in most discussions. A whirlwind of ideas, feelings, and truths that leave an unshakable impact on the player well after they've put down the controller. This is what it means to be Lost in The Last of Us: a story about contradiction, depression, escapism, and truth.
