The Last of Us in Chronological Order

Although there must be a fair number of individuals who are preparing to play through the new Last of Us Part One game, I can also imagine that only a handful would actually give a hoot about playing through the entire set of games in strict chronological order.

If you are one of those, then I salute you.

May your survival-mode be long. May your perma-death be swift.
