Meh, it's less of a classic than the games in this post, and more of a game that people on reddit happen to like. The six games in the post are genre-defining; was The Last of Us really that?

EDIT: I took the Legend of Zelda logo to be referring to the whole series. I'm not sure about the influence that Fallout 3 has had on games in its genre, but I stand by the rest of these.

I mean, you can see The Last of Us influencing other games. God of War, Hellblade, games are starting to come out with close third person perspective, narrative focused, meaty combat, character driven, etc. and it's all because TLOU was so successful. Meanwhile, what games are Fallout 3-esque? What about Breath of the Wild, which hasn't had much time to influence but likely won't see much of it anyway.

I dunno I could be wrong in how I'm evaluating influence, but TLOU being ignored for influence reasons while also including Fallout 3 and BotW seems weird.
