From the games I played this gen, The Last of Us is right up there as probably the best. The story, the world building, the writing and characters - just unbelievable. One of the few games that really left an impression on me.
I think the praise it gets is fully justified, although I can understand why some people would get put off by the setting and mood. For what it was trying to accomplish, I think it is definitely a masterpiece.
Also loved the Uncharted series but for different reasons. Just really good fun and a rollicking adventure.
Can't wait for Naughty Dog's next game.
