No. It's not ground breaking enough. It might have been the greatest within that genre at the time of launch but it borrowed from many games before it and didn't mark a sea change evolution.
Lets compare it to the shooters - half life 1 and 2. The first half-life marked a huge change in direction for fps away from quake and doom to the linear shooters which took over. The second dramatically raised the bar. Both haven't aged brilliantly as many later games repeated what they did until they became lost in the crowd. But Halflife 1s historic place is significant.
The last of us is more of a half-life 2 than a half-life 1. It's an evolution of what we had not a revolution and tlou is a more incremental evolution at that. Doesn't stop it being a truly great game but it isn't of great historic importance unlike all the games you listed.
