#6 Game of the Year 2020 - The Last of Us Part 2

Naughty Dog had kept its fans in suspense for the next installment of The Last of Us for nearly a full console cycle. The Last of Us: Part 2 did not disappoint. Further fleshing out the hellscape of the post-apocalyptic world, players did more than experience more of Ellie's tragic existence. The narrative was so nuanced and multi-dimensional, and Ellie's adversaries proved to be more than anyone expected. That's before even going into the improvements to the gameplay elements, including the improved gunplay and refined stealth. The Last of Us: Part 2 is a gaming experience like few others and stands as one of Naughty Dog's great triumphs.
