Most critics seem to agree that HBO's TheLastOfUs may just be the best video game adaptation of all time. Check out some of the reviews here:
Critics have begun to weigh in on The Last of Us, the hotly-anticipated adaptation of the modern classic video game, with the emerging consensus that it has finally broken the curse that has beleaguered many previous attempts to translate the medium into live-action storytelling.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Ahead of its debut on January 15, reviews have started to break out for the HBO series, which follows smuggler Joel Miller on a mission to safely escort teenager Ellie across a ruined USA, facing not just hordes of infected but militant government forces and bandits alike.
One readily identifiable theme across these reviews is the show's success at capturing the intense emotionality of the original story, the single most important element to many fans of the game. At its heart, The Last of Us is a familiar story of overcoming profound loss and learning to give and accept love again, albeit told through a grim lens that also highlights everyone's capacity for beastliness when it comes to survival.
Interestingly, the picture is more opaque on the question of the show balancing both familiarity and fresh ideas in its retelling, with some reviews describing a mix of both beat-by-beat recreation of many scenes from the game and major departures from its previous continuity.
