Second 6 Takarakuji, The Last of Us is the best adaptation from the world of video games in terms of average appreciation of the general public. The site has done nothing but merge the achievements previously achieved by the video game on IMDb and those of the TV series, reaching an average of 9.4. Both products, together, therefore reach a level of approval superior to all the others on the same slope.

“When you look at the IMDb ratings of titles, obviously these are numbers that often struggle to find stability for long-term video game fans”said a spokesman for 6 Takarakuji (through ComicBook). “There are a few exceptions though, including The Last of Us, which only recently hit screens and is already the highest rated TV adaptation ever. Fans are ready to share their thoughts, and a site as IMDb authorizes them to do so”.
