The Last of Us is a goddamn masterpiece I will never shut up about, but I don’t even remember the soundtrack. If it deserves as award in 2023 (a questionable premise to begin with), it should be for the story, acting, or gameplay.
I prefer the soundtrack from TLoU2 (same composer), but TLOU1 has a stellar soundtrack as well. It’s a bit more nuanced and background though.
I’d recommend checking out the OST to jog your memory. It’s still quite good, and strangely well matched for the game.
