LBP is the easy choice but IMO The Last of Us didn't really get a lot of scrutiny for what in my eyes are quite a few shortcomings:
It's the classic naughty dog gameplay loop: Combat set piece followed by mild environment puzzling all with a side companion. Repeat.
This doesn't mean it's inherently bad, but in the case of the Last of Us the entire package doesn't stand out. The combat is okay not good and the encounters become repetitive quickly. The world building is very derivative of pretty much any other zombie ridden post apocalyptia you've ever seen. The environmental puzzles consist of moving ladders, boxes, dumpsters etc...so what's her face can get over something and then unlock a door. I didn't like the characters very much although it is remarkably well voiced throughout and the dialogue felt genuine. The sum of my time with it wasn't enjoyable and it never really blew my hair back. It has this "oh look how brutal this is, how daring" attitude and I never fully appreciated why others found that to be so new and fresh. Needless to say I find the GOAT opinions towards it puzzling.
Are you a time traveler? Seriously, you stopped posting for 6 years and are now necroing threads from the days when you did post. This is incredible.
On the topic, though, the Little Big Planet series was never any fun for me. Batman: Arkham City was disappointed as well as a follow up to Asylum. I'd go with those two.
