Wide Flank: Happy Gaming18 Marras 2021

The Last of US (2013) - Gameclub

The Last of Us. Yep, we decided to play it one more time (or in Alon’s case, the first time). Teddy and Danny have played this many times since its release, and to no one's surprise, still loved it.

It’s a game that gets its storytelling so right. The voice acting is 2nd to none. The plot is familiar, and even has its fair share of tropes, but its characters are so well developed that we didn’t mind. The level traversing and combat leaves something to be desired, but hey, nobody is perfect.

While this game might not have GOAT status, it was a great ride and a lot of fun to talk about. This may be one of the best pods yet, but that’s for you to decide.

Next game for Gameclub is Mega Man X. Happy gaming.
