From The Last of Us to Uncharted, Naughty Dog's storytelling is not only masterful for its action and spectacle, but also for incorporating human emotion.
If Naughty Dog has a real reason to make a different type of game, they should do it. If their studio is structured around building story-driven single player games, they should stick to that. BY BEN PRICE: Through the years, few game developers have been as consistently excellent in their quality of titles as Sony’s own Naughty Dog. With the release of The Last of Us Part II, this is the perfect time to rank every Playstation title released by Naughty Dog, from Crash Bandicoot to Uncharted 4.
*Editor’s Note: Some specific story moments and spoilers from The Last of Us, The Last of Us: Left Behind, Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy will be addressed in the course of this editorial.
We all have heard of Naughty Dog; whether you’re a fan of their games or not, there is no denying they continuously tackle hard-hitting topics and have paved the way for some of the most compelling and thought-provoking storylines known in the gaming world.
To me, Naughty Dog is everything I could want in a developer. They are masters of storytelling, and each one of their games are visually and mentally stimulating, but also the subjects they cover (and how they cover them) are pioneering for accessibility within the gaming community.
When it comes to writing a story for any type of game, the pressure is immense. It has got to be captivating and so gripping that the player loses hours of their day to be completely enthralled by the narrative. There are many games where this simply doesn’t work, or it only works for a certain amount of time and then begins to become monotonous as the story goes on. Thankfully, Naughty Dog hasn’t suffered from this issue, thanks to the ways that they have integrated a diverse range of storytelling techniques and emotions.

The Last of Us is arguably the studio’s best franchise to date, but why did it work so well? I can only speak on my personal opinion of course, but I believe it flourished due to how relatable that its characters are. Each of their personal stories can touch, in some way, every kind of player around the world, not only through loss, joy, sorrow, terror, and humor but through unlikely friendships, as seen with Joel and Ellie.
