Video Game Haiku #8: The Last of Us
Stray too much off-path,
game over. The makers want
their story, not yours.

Oh, Bronson! Packing a nice punch with so few words. I love it!
Thanks, Philip! I always had incredible cognitive dissonance with Naughty Dog games. Like how in Uncharted, a cutscene will have Nathan Drake hesitate to shoot someone right after he just straight-up murdered 50 random goons.
Not that I think those games are bad, or anything. The Last of Us is a masterpiece. But like David Lynch films, no matter how hard I try to enjoy them, they just aren’t for me.
The makers must have many belly laughs.
