The Last of Us was one of the PlayStation 3’s best games, and, as a brand new property, it went through a long and difficult development period. To give you a taste of just what it was like, Sony and developer Naughty Dog have released a lengthy documentary detailing how the game was made, and you can check it out below for free.
