The Last of Us Factions Proves Naughty Dog Doesn’t Need to Overthink Its Multiplayer Game

The Last of Us remains one of the best experiences that can be had in the PlayStation ecosystem. Joel’s journey across a post-apocalyptic United States with Ellie is tense, emotional, and incredibly thrilling, with story beats that will be remembered for decades to come. Developer Naughty Dog is no stranger to critical and commercial acclaim, with Jak and Daxter and Uncharted also under its belt, but while that consistency has been key for years, the upcoming The Last of Us: Factions seems to have encountered a bump in the road. Supposedly, the game is being restructured following criticism for Bungie, with fans theorizing that Naughty Dog may have gotten a bit too ambitious with the project even though it did not need to.
