41: The Last of Us (with Ben Robinson - Play Along Podcast)

Dave Jackson — Wed, 31 Aug 2022 00:00:00 -0400

Some games are released, garner acclaim and fans, and fade into our Nostalgia centers. Some games, however, keep growing until they are something much bigger. The Last of Us is a trend-setter, influencing the direction of Sony's first-party titles of the past decade, while also being remastered AND remade before spinning out into a multimedia franchise. But does it deserve the hype and continuing obsession? Is it truly one of the greatest video games ever made?

Dave is joined by Ben Robinson of Play Along Podcast to discuss the original PS3 release and the PS4 remaster.
