3. Gameplay
The Last of Us is a third-person Survival-Action game that utilizes choices in gameplay action to
develop the game storyline, as well as the relationship between the two main characters, Joel
and Ellie. The game features a combination of combat, exploration, stealth and platforming
game mechanics. Although Joel and Ellie are both residents of a post-apocalyptic world, they
have had different experiences that affect the way they see the world around them, and feel
about what they see and do. Joel had a life before the pandemic, while the world of the
pandemic is all that Ellie has ever known. As part of Joel’s job to smuggle Ellie out of the
quarantine zone, players have to make choices in how they deal with enemies, which include,
roving gangs of human scavengers not unlike themselves, military elements and infected
civilians. Player also have opportunity to together interact with elements of the world around
them, which helps to build the bond between Joel and Ellie. Resources in the game are scarce,
making overwhelming use of firepower unlikely and unwise in conflicts, and resource gathering
missions. In addition, most other residents of the ruined world that are encountered are just
trying to survive – blurring the line between good guys and bad guys. Finally, game AI react
differently depending on the specifics of the player’s actions, making choice in gameplay a
major consideration.
