The Last of Us is a great game, definetly one of the better ones this year, but there isn't much in it that we haven't seen before. It's a third person survival horror game, and it's a pretty basic one at that. However, because it has a god like story, it's suddenly 10x better than all the competition. The gameplay can be summed up as "ladder, plank, raft." The AI is also poor, but I will say that the online is extremely fun.

People seem to get mad when I say my games of the year are Super Mario 3D World, GTA V, and A Link Between Worlds. But these games made me immersed, they made me feel a sense of wonder, and I was always wanting to find out what the next area I went to had in store for me. With The Last of Us, it felt like I was just playing the levels to get to the next story segment, not for the actual level.

To me, The Last of Us is just another good shooter, with a great story.


Bad AI? That game has one of the best AIs I've seen. The way the enemies react to how you play or what weapons are you using it's amazing. The gameplay is superb on Survivor difficulty, even the AI gets better. It's a matter of opinion, you can say that SM 3D world is just another 3D platformer. GTA V is the same thing that GTA IV (of course, improved. But still worse than GTA San Andreas).

These games are just sequels and follow the same formula with just some things added. TLoU is new, it's unique. It just applies elements of real-time crafting and stealth in a survival horror game in the right ammount. But it's personal opinion, of course. It just looks like the majority of personal opinions went to LToU as GOTY and I agree with that.
