The Last of Us has the best game story, says Mazin

Craig Mazin melts The last of us. According to the American screenwriter and film director, best known for creating a five-episode mini-series Chernobyl for HBO, there is an action movie from Naughty Dog the best story in the gaming world.

Mazin is also a co-author and co-writer of the script for the future film. TV adaptation of The Last of Us. He talked about the game in an interview with Empire, where he said that no other game has surpassed The Last of Us in terms of story.

“This is the best story ever told in a video game.” Mazin said. He explained that one of the reasons for this opinion is main characters, ordinary people, don’t try to be great characters.

“They are just people. And this in itself is a rarity in games. The fact that they keep your feet on the ground and make you feel like I’ve never experienced anything like this before and I’ve been playing video games since 1977.” Mazin says. And this is exactly what he intends to serve us with other authors. The main characters, Joel and Ellie, will be played by Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey.

The Last of Us premieres January 16, 2023 on HBO Max. The first series will consist of 9 episodes, and not only Czech subtitles, but also Czech dubbing have been confirmed. I recommend a fresh trailer. Here’s another nice comparison below that shows some scenes will indeed be created 1:1.
