    Nothing exactly new. It's a great game, the AI is great, the plot is good, the grphics, the sound, but the gameplay is exactly like resident evil 4. It's nothing new and the improvements are minimal. The lack of innovativity is a dissapointment though. Still a spetacular game though.

    BUT, the puzzles are repetitive and dull, the shooting is not really engaging, some walking sections are annoying and people keep saying how original it is but I've seen "children of men" so it wasn't exactly original to me.
    I'm just nickpicking I know that, but when people keep saying it's the best game of all time, I end up with high expectations that weren't completely met.

    But still, it's a mature story with great characters, great story and good gameplay, so I'd suggest you buy it.

    One of the best games ever. The story is nothing new but it's well told in the game; the characters are charismatic and their emotions were relatable. This is one of those games that you don't just play because of the polished gameplay, you play it because you want to see the story unfold.

    Developed by Naughty Dog and released for PS3 in 2013, “The Last of Us” is a survival horror game where players trek across the United States 20 years after a zombie-like epidemic wipes out millions. The dazzling graphics and exciting game play has earned the game high reviews and 240 Game of the Year awards.

    Joel (voiced by Troy Baker) is a smuggler who is carried with the task of transporting a teenage girl born into the epidemic named Ellie (Ashley Johnson) to a rebel group known as the Fireflies. Ellie is immune to the Cordyceps fungus, a mutant fungus that turns humans into cannibalistic monsters, and the Fireflies believe that her immunity can lead to a cure. They travel across post-apocalyptic U.S., fighting the horrific “infected” and other rival survivors. Along the way, the duo met new allies and enemies, and discover more about the fungus and what it can do. Joel and Ellie, both who have experienced great loss, form a close father-daughter like relationship.

    Players control Joel from the third person perspective for most of the game. Shotguns, knives, rifles, and bows are some of the weapons that can be used throughout. Melee weapons like pipes, bricks and baseball bats can also be used to distract or stun enemies. Workbenches allow you to craft Molotov cocktails, health packs, or upgrade current weapons. “The Last of Us” also offers a stealth mode so players can quietly sneak past enemies or attack them unnoticed. Online multiplayer is available for up to eight people.

    “The Last of Us” had an absolutely stunning artistic design. The destroyed cities have been overtaken by nature, which creates a beautiful contrast of half-standing skyscrapers and luscious vines and flowers. The Infected, especially the Clickers and Bloaters, were truly terrifying and grotesque. Every character was detailed in personality, background, and appearance. The voice actors made their characters sound genuine and made the player feel every emotion they conveyed. The transitions from cutscenes to actual gameplay were never sloppy or rushed. “Last of Us” makes gamers feel as if they are watching a film rather than a game with its realistic, unique plot.

    The rating of “The Last of Us” is a question of concern for some players. Rated M, the game contains graphic violence and gore, strong language, and some adult themes. There are blood splatters, intense screams of pain, and lost of limbs during combat. Death scenes that include decapitation, executions, suicide, and being burned alive may be too unsettling. Strong language is used throughout the game, along with some adult references. “The Last of Us” is definitely suitable for people over 16. Parents of players under 16 may want to watch their child play if they are worried about the content.

    Overall, “The Last of Us” is one of the best PS3 games of all time. I would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of action, survival and horror games. The entire game was unique and creatively made with its complex storyline and graphic design. “The Last of Us” costs around 20 dollars on Gamestop for PS4 and 10 dollars for PS3.

    The Last of Us è un capolavoro in quanto a storia, personaggi, ambientazione,immersione che lo elevano a capolavoro senza tempo.
    Vanno però detti anche i difetti tra i quali si annota un gameplay abbastanza monotono e ripetitivo e non troppo entusiasmante. VOTO 94/100

    This game is big on story and if that's your thing then I'd say go for it because you'd be fully immersed in the experience that this title offers.

    Es simple en muchos aspectos y profundo en muchos otros, the last of us es la joya de la corona que estableció a Naugthy Dog como uno de los 4A. Sin lugar a duda uno de los mejores de la 7ma generación.

    Pros:
    - Very immersive
    - Nice story - Well prepared/thought through. That includes controls. - Interesting and sometimes very surprising twists. Can be emotional. - Not really much to complain about - Very nice graphics. Care for details and effects. However you may expect some artifacts once in a while (will not spoil the surprise ;-) ) - Nice to see different types of scenery

    Neutral:
    - Kind of funny to see trees and bushes build out of couple of 2-dimensional elements.
    - Multiplayer is slower paced. Kind of special. I don't find it entertaining enough at my low starting level. However, I never loved much multiplayer shooter games...

    Cons:
    - Not obvious enough how saves work. Irritating that the moment you want to save a game manually it saves automatically first using the current slot

    Stunning Naughty Dog instant classic for Ps3. A spectacular game in all its aspects, playability, graphics, soundtrack, history. It's got it all. I'll play it again in its remastered version before playing the second part. If you have a PS3, you must play this game, it's among the top 10 in its catalog, for sure.

    Un gran juego con una jugabilidad muy adictiva, con una de las mejores historias merecedor de una novela o película y unos gráficos de otro mundo. Algunos fallos en la IA de los acompañantes fastidian la gran ambietación pero por lo demás es increíble. Le pongo un 97/100 a esta obra maestra de Naughty Dog.

    This is not one of the best games I have played but instead is one of the best I have experienced. The last of us is not a fun game to play. Levels are very linear and tedious, with clunky movement and gunplay. Note that clunky gameplay is usually a positive for horror games (resident evil, silent hill, etc); for some reason here it feels like a crutch.

    The standouts of this game are

    The standouts of this game are instead in the story, soundtrack, and acting. The story is actually quite standard for a zombie story; it has expected plot twists but it is done right so it is still very enjoyable. The main reason it works is the phenomenal motion capture acting, especially by Troy Baker as Joel. He brings a weighted performance as a damaged character who has experienced loss and desperate survival for 20 years. I would consider him to be on par with Andy Serkis from this performance alone. That isn't to ignore Ashley Johnson's equally important role as Ellie, our second protagonist. We get to see our two characters develop together as the game continues, done in a non-rushed and satisfying way.

    The soundtrack is beautiful and heartfelt, composed and played with a lot of soul and care.

    The Last of Us is a landmark title. In 2013 this game set a new bar in terms of writing, characters and emotional storytelling in video games. Fair to say, the gameplay is really intense and it marries with the narrative in a way games rarely due. Also, it was technically and artistically a marvel for a 7 year old PS3. A timeless work of art

This game proves how you can take an ordinary story with a cliché zombie setting, but provide an unforgettable experience with character development, storytelling and game pace.

    It plays like a stealth focused Uncharted and as expected, shooting mechanics are not the best. Melee, on the other hand, feels great and is the most enjoyable part of the combat. Overall, I was surprised with how much I enjoyed the gameplay despite the poor shooting. To avoid spoilers, I won’t write a detailed review but I strongly recommend playing the Last of Us if you consider video games as your hobby.

    Multiplayer is actually not as bad as you might expect, but it is crippled with pay2win microtransactions.

    Overall the game is great and if you like zombies, survival horror, post apocalyptic, or just good story telling then you will love this game. I give this a low A- just because it had some game mechanics like the shivs and the fact Joel is the only one who reacts to getting shot. It is still an amazing game and I think most gamers should play it.

    The Last of Us is truly a cinematic masterpiece in video gaming. The production and competence from the people behind the scenes elevates this game beyond even some movies and tv shows.

The story of a manThe Last of Us is truly a cinematic masterpiece in video gaming. The production and competence from the people behind the scenes elevates this game beyond even some movies and tv shows. The acting from the cast is incredible and truly is award winning, and the story they're involved in puts both the characters and the player in harrowing and disturbing situations. The story of a man transporting a teenage girl through a post-apocalyptic America works because the interaction and chemistry between the two is excellent. The gameplay works fluently as well, with the UI not getting in the way of what is happening. All of the player's actions in game happens in real time, which means that the game doesn't pause when you're sorting through your bag and crafting or swapping weapons. It just adds to the dreadful gameplay and forces the player to act fast. The different enemies give alternating methods of confronting levels. Humans move faster but are easily vulnerable, while infected are slow but are harder to kill and deal more damage at a closer range. With the different enemy types included, it keeps the player on their toes. The pacing doesn't let go of the player's interest, making both the plot and gameplay moving consistently. The only pacing issue I have is early on, right after the prologue, where it feels like the plot doesn't move at the speed or works as wonderfully as it should be. However, it's only a brief period of around 45 minutes, but it should still be mentioned. The ending evokes emotions and themes rarely brought up and questions the player's morality and thinking, which makes for a great ending. The game also comes with a multiplayer with a surprising amount of layers to the gameplay and design. It involves a lot of teamwork and communication with gunfights that feel desolate and tense, giving it a realistic feeling of what would probably happen in real life. In conclusion, The Last of Us is a one of a kind video game that deserves all the praise it gets. With its excellent singleplayer and surprisingly fun multiplayer, this is absolutely a must have for everyone. Expand

    El mejor videojuego que existe. Una obra de arte. Tanto en el aspecto audiovisual como argumental, las secuencias te mantienen atrapado cada vez más a medida que transcurre la historia. La química entre los personajes es excepcional hasta el punto tan íntimo que te queda la sensación de que Joel y Ellie son seres humanos reales y conectas al 100% con ellos.
    La banda sonora es excelente,

    La banda sonora es excelente, compuesta por el maestro Santaolalla, el sonido de las cuerdas de guitarra te acompaña en un viaje por un mundo post apocalíptico creado a imagen y semejanza del que vivimos. Los cambios estacionales son tremendos y los giros de la trama también.
    Como colofón el modo multijugador es distinto a cualquier otro y al que más horas he dedicado yo y mis amigos. Nací en 1980 y he jugado a varias generaciones de consolas pero me quedo con The Last of Us por delante de todos los juegos, es único.

    Uma obra-prima chamada: The Last of Us!!!
    The Last of Us (TLOU) é um dos melhores jogos que já tiv o prazer de jogar, e um dos melhores games já criados da história dos Vídeo Games.

    A história de TLOU é tão incrível que arrepia e emociona à qualquer um que jogar! com protagonistas e personagens marcantes ao nível extremo.

    O jogo em si se leva a uma pegada "sentimental" de pai e filho(a). A trama de Joel e Ellie é sensacional junto com o que vai acontecendo na relação deles e de todos que aparecem na volta deles.

    A gameplay é: MEU DEUS, QUE GAMEPLAY ÉPICA. Sério! é muito boa a jogabilidade de TLOU. A jogabilidade (exremamente boa) é acompanhado por um sistema de combate corpo a corpo magnifica! os golpes e movimentos são muito, mas MUITO bem feitos.

    Em The Last of Us tem um como você melhorar suas armas, e com direito a uma variação excelente de armas. Como pistolas, revólvers, fuzis, escopetas, arco e flechas, lança-chamas, tijolos, garrafas, facas e muito mais.

    Os coletáveis em TLOU são ótimos porque alguns mostra como o mundo era antes do vírus acontecer, e você conhece um pouco das história de alguns personagens.

    Multiplayer -
    TLOU é um jogo completo! e teve direito a um Multiplayer incrível com muitos players ativos até seu encerramento em 2019. Isso foi extramamente triste para todos que amavam o Multiplayer e jogavam dia após dia. Imagina todas essas variações de armas e aquela jogabilidade excelente que falei, porém agora contra outros players... Fica divertido, frenético e emocionante demais.

    O único ponto negativo que tenho dar ao Multiplayer (Além de ele ter sido fechado) é o fato dele não ter várações de modos de jogo. Você poder jogar o modo "Sobrevivente" e o modo "Suprimentos", que basicamente um é mata-mata e o outro é o mesmo, porém, sem respawn.

    TLOU é uma obra de arte e merece todo carinho, atenção e admiração por ele. Obrigado Naughty Dog! e Obrigado Naughty Dog.

    The Last of Us is a great action-adventure game that manages to capture the feeling of post-apocalypse and survival. The story is alright but way too manipulative and borrows heavily from other, better, material. Still the segmented survival gameplay and the amazing audiovisual production makes the game an experience everybody should check out.

    Despite the breakneck pace of the prologue, it takes quite a while for The Last of Us to pick up some speed again. However, once the cold harsh winter arrives, the action (and story) ramps up. So much so, it puts most Hollywood productions to shame. [July 2013, p.76]
