Come along with Noah and Bronte this week, as they travel outside the QZ and into a very pretty wasteland filled with a few nasty mushrooms. Grab the tissues and an improvised weapon, it's time to compare the TV Show and the Game and enter the grim world of The Last Of Us (Part 1). "I'M JOEL!"

GAMEPLAY CONTENT WARNING: Players use weapons such as pistols, rifles, and crafted explosives as well as melee attacks with chokeholds, bats, and metal pipes to defend themselves from the infected and other human survivors. Players can also engage in stealth combat sequences involving a close-up camera view. Weapon and explosive attacks can result in decapitation and/or dismemberment. Scenes depict intense acts of violence, including themes of suicide and torture. During the game, a character makes sexual remarks about an adult magazine and a young character is shown drinking alcohol. Strong language is used frequently in dialogue.
