Did Joel do the right thing when he saved Ellie?

Are those infected by the Cordyceps conscious?

Are communities necessary for human survival and flourishing?

Should Ellie forgive Joel?

Is Abby’s revenge morally justified? Is Ellie’s?

Renowned for brilliant gameplay and world-class narrative, The Last of Us raises timeless and enduring philosophical questions.
