The Last of Us is a game that was known not only for its graphics, pushing the PS3 to its absolute limits when it was released, but also for its story, which was critically acclaimed. People fell in love with the characters known as Joel and Ellie during the duration of the game. The father/daughter bond they formed was groundbreaking and the extent to which Joel went to save Ellie was both empathizing but also incredibly controversial in that it asked a question, if it meant saving the world, would you let a loved one die in the hopes that a vaccine could be developed against a deadly disease that wiped out a majority of humanity? It is a question that absolutely makes you think, and one that considering the circumstances, absolutely made you empathize with Joel for what he did at the end of the first game. The game sold extremely well, to the point where fan demand for a sequel was made.
