The review embargo on HBO’s The Last of Us lifted earlier this week and slowly, critics are letting their perceptions of the show become known. At one point, HBO’s The Last of Us had a perfect rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which speaks volumes about how good it is As of the time of writing, HBO’s The Last of Us has a 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes from dozens of critics and 91% from “Top Critics” alone. Here’s a round-up of HBO’s The Last of Us reviews from some notable critics: HBO’s The Last of Us is based on The Last of Us, which has since been re-released as The Last of Us Part 1 for both the PlayStation 5 and the PC. It takes place in a fictional North America where a fungal disease has ravaged the world, leaving only a few survivors behind. The events of the game, and the show, take place years after the fungus has done most of its damage to the world. It follows the story of Joel and Ellie as they journey across a perilous North America fraught with the dangers coming from both likely and unlikely sources. Judging from the early success of HBO’s The Last of Us, it’s only a matter of time before a second season, which will adapt the events of the second game, gets greenlit. Hopefully, by then, we’ll have more details about The Last of Us multiplayer spin-off and The Last of Us Part 3, which Druckmann recently hinted at. Fans are expecting HBO and Naughty Dog to announce big things at the 10th The Last of Us Day, also known as Outbreak Day, on September 26.
