The Last of Us (Chronological)

AI Rating: 2/10 - The Last of Us (2015 chronological cut of the game) focuses on survival horror, paternal bonds, and moral ambiguity in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by Cordyceps-infected zombies. Core story prioritizes tense gameplay, character-driven narrative between Joel and Ellie over politics. Minor elements like Ellie's implied queerness (from DLC) and strong female characters (Ellie, Tess, Maria) exist but serve the plot without preaching social justice, identity politics, or diversity quotas. No progressive messaging disrupts storytelling.
