When it comes to emotional and traumatic storytelling, HBO’s The Last of Us has this concept down pat. Taken from Naughty Dog’s award-winning franchise, co-creators Mazin and Druckmann have taken the post-apocalyptic title in season one to heights that saw others, like Mortal Kombat: Annihilation and Assassin’s Creed, fail miserably, but not only this, the series even went on to win several awards, including eight Primetime Emmy Awards, finally breaking what seems to be the dreaded gaming adaption curse in the process.
