Anyone who thinks either of The Last of Us games belongs on a top ten games of all time list (or hell, a top 100 list) hasn't been playing games made before 2010. They did literally nothing that hadn't already been done in games thousands of times before and better. Even "tEh Em0sHuNuL sIn0MaTiK sToRyTeLlINg" that the games are known for was done to death before the PS2 era was over, the actual story within the games is the exact same ultra-nihilistic shit made by The Walking Dead, and actually looking into their world, setting, and plot past the surface elements will reveal the holes.
I really enjoyed playing 1 the first time round. Mainly for the atmosphere. But the second time round I realised just how basic it is. It's still a good game but I can name 20 games with little thought right now that are better.
