However, the attention garnered by being a &#8220;copy of&#8221; often leads these clones to grab headlines, just like in the case of The Last of Us.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"HBO Max\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/a2f73840-9b6e-11e6-a5b8-00163ec9f5fa\/1641088715\/hbo-max-logo\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">HBO Max<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/hbo-max.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/hbo-max.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The masterpiece by Naughty Dog has encountered a blatant clone within the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/nintendo-paves-the-ground-for-switch-2-switch-pro-or-whatever-its-next-console-is-called?ex=RAMP-1114.1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nintendo Switch eShop<\/a><\/strong>. Its name? <strong>The Last Hope: Dead Zone Survival<\/strong>. The name itself is a clear statement of what to expect, but even a quick glance at the gameplay leaves no room for doubt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed-Youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Last Hope - Dead Zone Survival - Nintendo Switch Gameplay\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ah1JVbwQ-Zo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Firstly, the main image of the game features a man and a girl seen from behind, <strong>just like the iconic cover of the original game<\/strong>. From there, the man&#8217;s backpack resembles Joel&#8217;s (including his attire), the girl also wears a bright red shirt, a ponytail, and so on. It doesn&#8217;t take a genius to see the existing parallels. But there&#8217;s more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you watch the gameplay shown in this very piece, you can see that the gameplay attempts to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/the-last-of-us-for-pc-is-a-disaster-naughty-says-sorry-and-gives-a-date-to-fix-it?ex=RAMP-1114.1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">replicate what made The Last of Us<\/a><\/strong> successful: an adventure where a man and a girl must navigate through infected-filled environments with stealth playing a key role. However, it falls short in achieving that, as the game&#8217;s technical quality is quite poor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Last Hope is developed by VG Games and is currently available for a price of <strong>\u20ac0.99<\/strong>, which is less than the cost of a cup of coffee.
