‘The Last of Us,’ ‘Uncharted,’ and the Future of Single-Player Games

My first exposure to a game published by Naughty Dog (perhaps PlayStation’s premier game studio) was in high school when I played the first Uncharted game. Since then, I’ve played three other Uncharted games, and the seminal title, The Last of Us. Tinged by the lens of nostalgia, these releases loom huge in my mind as examples of everything that I love about video games. They’re action-packed, story-driven, and framed by beautiful graphics and excellent voice acting.
