The Last of Us is a groundbreaking action-adventure survival horror video game developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. Released on June 14, 2013, for the PlayStation 3, this masterpiece takes players on an unforgettable journey across a post-apocalyptic United States. The player assumes the role of Joel (brilliantly voiced and motion-captured by Troy Baker), tasked with escorting the courageous Ellie (Ashley Johnson) through treacherous landscapes. To survive against hostile humans and zombie-like creatures infected by a mutated strain of the Cordyceps fungus, players must utilize firearms, improvised weapons, and stealth tactics with precision. The Last of Us has received widespread critical acclaim for its exceptional writing, voice acting, sound design, level design, music, and art direction. Its narrative is particularly praised for its masterful characterization, subtext, exploration of the human condition, and depiction of LGBT characters. Considered one of the most significant titles of the seventh generation of video games, The Last of Us has been hailed by many critics as one of the greatest video games of all time, earning over 200 "Game of the Year" awards. With a staggering 1.3 million units sold in its first week, it was the second-largest PlayStation 3 game launch of 2013 (after Grand Theft Auto V), and as of July 2014, the game had surpassed 7 million units sold worldwide. The Last of Us is played from a third-person perspective, where players engage in intense gunfights, melee combat, and cover-based gameplay. For most of the game, Joel is controlled by the player, while Ellie and other companions are guided by AI. As players navigate through post-apocalyptic environments, they must fight off infected humans and hostile survivors. The player can choose to attack enemies directly or employ stealth tactics to pass undetected. Clickers, a terrifying variation of the infected, appear less human than Runners and Stalkers, with grotesquely distorted faces scarred by fungus developed from their infected brains. Despite being more aggressive and intelligent than other infected types, Clickers can be devastatingly resilient, as a direct shot to the face often only breaks off a chunk of the mold, leaving their brain intact. They are driven by an insatiable hunger for human flesh and possess a keen sense of awareness, constantly searching every nook and cranny to locate potential prey. Interestingly, most Clickers seen in the game appear to have been female humans.
