Game of the Year: #1 - The Last of Us: Part II
Share:
Throughout the entirety of the PlayStation 4 generation, there was one consistency that propelled the console to rising head and shoulders above its competition. The quality of Sony's first-party output is tough to match these days, with early highlights like Bloodborne and Ratchet & Clank paving the way for genre-defining titles to capitalise on an expansive install base a few years later. That allowed Sony's last-gen system to go out with a bang in its final year of real relevance, and one game managed to define everything those prior PS4 exclusives had been gunning for. The Last of Us: Part II is why we play games — a masterpiece of design, direction, gameplay, and storytelling.
