About this game
Naughty Dog's 2013 game, about a smuggler escorting a girl who is immune to the fungus that ended everything. Scarcity is what makes it tense: you scavenge scissors, rags and alcohol, most recipes want the same parts, so every bandage is a shiv you did not make. Joel can drop prone and listen, which shows you enemies through walls. The Clickers, the ones the fungus has grown over the eyes of, cannot see at all and kill you in one hit, which is what finally makes the stealth worth using. The people are as dangerous as the infected, and are the other reason the scarcity matters. The game never gives you enough, so a fight you win by running away still counts as winning.
