The Last of Us broke your heart in 60 seconds. Here's how.
The intro sequence in The Last of Us is a masterclass in storytelling. The devs use a bunch of psychological tricks and shortcuts to make you FEEL for characters you don't know, and it all happens without you realizing in the first few minutes of the game. I wanted to explain some of the cool heuristics and strategies that make The Last of Us one of the most emotionally-charged video games ever. I hope you enjoy. P.S. If you like videos like this, hit me with a subbie :P I make videos about #videogameanalysis and #videogamedesign so we can break down why we fall in love with video games.
