The Last of Us, New Naughty Dog IP Options

Staff from Enslaved are working on this, along with the Naughty Dog crew. Love the concept, and the look is phenomenal. I wonder what the gameplay will actually be like?

I just finished this game. I prefer it much more to Far Cry 3 and Bioshock Infinite.

Unlike all those other 15 hour "AAA" titles, this one is actually worth your money, even if just for one playthrough. Yes, the game is that good (story and immersion wise). Game is stealth based with very simplistic puzzles. It's the immersion that carries the gameplay via the combat. I am usually against all these big budget games with pathetically short gameplay, but this game does it right.

The game design is very well though out, from the enemy placement and pathing, to environmental layout. It gives the game a smooth pacing.

I would say safely that this game is a must own or must play in your gaming lifetime. If it got GOTY I wouldn't be surprised. The characters, story, and environment are all incredibly gripping. I can't think of a game with this well of an execution. Technically the nuts and bolts of the gameplay isn't going to knock your socks off, but it's solid, engaging, and synergizes with the immersion, making it seem more than it really is. My only gripe gameplay wise is that I just find it awkward that slamming dudes with your fists and metal pipes is way more effective than a pee-shooter gun.
