Product description and author Craig Mazin In a new meeting, The Last of Us first game as the greatest story to be told in the history of video games.
For those who don't know Mazen well, Chernobyl was his best work, which received several awards, while he participated in writing the script for the series based on the story of the game The Last of Us.
Mazen spoke in an exclusive interview with Empire newspaper about the new series, which will air early next year exclusively on HBO. where he saidThis is the greatest story ever told in video games.” As for Mazen, who co-produced the show along with the game’s original writer Neil Druckmann – the reason for this is how deeply rooted the story and characters are.
Mazen added that the idea of the game is not centered around making the player think about shooting these creatures only, as the game expressed some people trying to survive as human beings. This is something we rarely see in a video game, adding that he has been playing video games since 1977, but he has not seen a game story as deep as what happened with the game.
After Mazen issued these statements, some critics, most notably Kotaku, began describing his statements as exaggerated and that he was trying to create promotional hype to attract attention to the upcoming series he is working on.
It's as if Mazin was worried that people wouldn't give The Last of Us a chance and so he's trying to hype his narrative to convince people that the latest piece of prestige TV is worth watching, even if it's based on a video game.

Either way, from our perspective as players, the game has delivered a story that is one of the most profound we’ve ever seen in a video game. We’re really looking forward to seeing how this story and characters will translate from the game to the big screen, and will we really be as attached and affected by it as we were with the video game?!
The Last of Us series will begin airing in February next year, 2023, and some reports say that the first episode will be the longest, lasting 90 minutes.
