With out a question The last of us is the best game I have ever played. Not just because the game play is amazing but the story is rich and full of depth. The story is about a father named Joel and the game starts off on his birthday. You see his daughter give him a watch for his birthday. Time passes and Joel carries his daughter to her bedroom. You can see that Joel loves his daughter. Joels daughter wakes up to find that her dad is no where to be found after exploring the house you come to the work room and Joel runs in to grab a gun for protection from a infected man. (The game has a out brake of fungus which once it infects some one they turn into a zombie type thing. Ill link a discretion to a more in depth page that talks about it more. One last thing is that its a reel fungus.) (http://www.tested.com/science/weird/456585-very-real-very-creepy-science-behind-last-us-fungus-zombies/) After a while of driving to a check point and losing his truck Joel and his daughter make it to the check point Joels daughter gets shot by a solider and dies. Just this part you feel the pain of Joel from losing his daughter. Look up on youtube you can find any video of people crying at this part because of the amazing writing, acting ect. Skip 20 years and Joel lives in a walled of zone safe from the rest of the world. He turn into a guy who does not make friends or trys not to cause he did not want to lose any one like he lost his daughter. Him and his only friend smuggle things out of the city for people. They got a Job from some people to smuggle a girl who is infected but has not turned named Ellie. What was a small job turns into a mission to take her across the country fighting off infected, killers, cannibal ect. The entire game you can see Joel turning from guy who does not really make any friends or care about any one else into some one who starts caring about Ellie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCGNGWUQEwk Copy and paste this link and watch the video this shows everything I just said. It shows that Joel and Ellie love each other but Joel is to scared to lose her so he trys to push her onto Tommy. To Joel Ellie feels like his daughter, she reminds him of his daughter. Another great moment is the ending.

Now before this Joel just got to the fireflys base. They gave Joel the job to get Ellie to them. When he finds out that they need to kill Ellie in order to possibly make a cure, he kills every one and takes Ellie back. Now Joel says to Ellie you keep finding something to fight for. To Joel Ellie was that thing to fight for thats why he did not want to lose her, thats why he tried to get her safe with tommy. You might be wondering what all of that has to do with why I love this game so much. Its just because of that though for why I love it. Because it plays with the idea of love lose. Whats better and whats better for you. To Joel, after everything him and Ellie have been through he could not lose her. She was his thing to fight for. Before it was his daughter. Then for the longest time is was nothing. Then Ellie came into his life as a daughter figure. He knew that if she died he would really have nothing to fight for no reason to live. Just the story makes me love this game. If it was a movie I would love it the same.
