Retrospective: The Last of Us

The third in my horror retrospective series is Brandon on the PS4 exclusive that took the gaming world by storm: The Last of UsAll of the photographs throughout the article were taken by him, to see more of his work check out his Instagram page


The Last of Us for me, was and still is one of my favorite horror games to date.  The game starts you off in such an eerie setting, that it's kind of indescribable, post apocalyptic maybe?  The raw emotions that were introduced in the beginning, eventually chaining themselves along with the many unforgettable npcs you encounter through your journey, is phenomenal.

I have followed this game from the first time it was announced to today.  It has been one of my go to horror games to say the least. The originality of the infected are also something to behold. From the recently infected humans , to the fully covered with 'no sign of humanity left' clickers and bloaters.


Fun fact:  The game's infection is actually a real life fungus, the same effect it has on humans in the game, it has on different species of insects and arachnids, scary right?  No worries though, there has never been any instances of the cordyceps fungus infecting humans in real life ever recorded.


The Last of Us will always be to me, one of the best games ever to hit the gaming market. If you have yet to play this game this you are dreadfully missing out.
