Spoiler-free review.
A lot have been said about this game but here's my take on it

1. Story 📖 - 10/10
An emotional roller-coaster! Absolutely captivating right from start to finish. It's a game that simply resonates with me.
Characters and world building is written in a way that helps you further connect and understand what's it like to live in the world of The Last Of Us. The artifacts you'll pick up along the way simply delivers lore in a natural way - even letting you connect with characters that have no screen-time. The dialogues between characters in cut scenes and while exploring the over world helps bring them to life. Pacing of game is well done which keeps me wanting more and wondering what's to come next. It's a treat all the way till the end of the line.

2. Visuals 🖼️ - 10/10
Everything is just beautifully done. The assets and art style really fits the tone of the game. The environment and background makes it worth exploring every inch of it.

3. Music & Sound 🎵 - 10/10
Captivating and memorable soundtrack. The soundtrack is
well-placed, eliciting emotions that really pulls you in the scene. Sound effects and voice acting is done really well in bringing the characters and world to life.

4. Gameplay & Mechanics 🎮 - 8/10
Fun and engaging to playthrough. Character movement and combat is intuitive, the controls that come along with it feels natural on both the dual sense controller and KBM. Having the options to switch between both is great. Core mechanics of the game is well polished and the variety of opponents/weapons keeps the game fresh and interesting. The game also rewards your curiosity through exploration which is right up my alley. Did not encounter any bugs or glitches but crashes happen quite frequent if you try to blitz through certain scenes.

5. Replayability ⏪ - 4/5
Hands down it's worth multiple playthroughs. Finishing the game for the first time rewards you with a new game option. All the more rewarding for the feels all over again.

6. Accessibility ♿ - 5/5
Multiple difficulties available. You can have a chill run or challenge yourself with the highest difficulty. There's multiple gameplay/combat enhancement settings which can change the way you approach the game. Subtitles and colour-enhancing modes makes it easier to understand and navigate the world if needed.

7. Final Verdict 🎯 - 47/50
Near to perfection. This game simply sticks with me even after the credits rolls, and I believe it will do the same for you.
Get this game if you enjoy a story masterfully done, a gameplay beautifully crafted and a world carefully created with all the love and care given to it.
