Fans agree that The Last Of Us’ final sequence is among the best levels in gaming
Many gamers consider the Hospital Mission in The Last of Us Part 1 one of the best levels ever created for a video game.
Warning: Spoilers for The Last Of Us Part 1
We’ve probably all experienced a game level that has stayed with us long after we played it. It would be my final level in Halo 3. This was the culmination of all that transpired over the previous three games.
Others have different opinions, but the community has come together to express them. God954 asked in a PlayStation Reddit post: “What is the best level of a video game you’ve ever played?”
The answers varied and suggested levels from many beloved series and games, including Red Dead Redemption God Of War, and Mass Effect to name just a few.
One commenter responded to “The Final Mission of the Last of Us Part 1”, and I honestly can’t fault them. It was an exceptional level in an otherwise phenomenal game.
The mission was so emotional that I cried when I finished it. Ellie knows that Joel is lying to her to protect her, but she still loves him and would gladly sacrifice herself to save Ellie.
Every time I play the mission, “I cry.” This mission is so good at making you love and hate Joel.
The ending blew my mind when I played the game for the first time. Never before have I felt as invested in a narrative. “American Venom from RDR2 gave me a similar sense.”
This is a very emotional level since the whole game has revolved around getting Ellie into that hospital and then getting her out using any means possible. This emotion, combined with endless soldiers blocking and chasing your every move, will make for a memorable finale.
The story was incredibly impactful and it’s no wonder that so many people still talk about the game years after its initial release.
The Last Of Us Part I can be downloaded on PC and PlayStation 5, while The Last Of Us remastered can be purchased on PlayStation 4.
