    An amazing story showing us a little bit of good in a horrible world torn apart by zombie infection. In a place that people will kill each other without a second thought two unlikely characters meet each other and create an unbreakable bond that is slowly changing them over time. It's the story that is showing us that even after the darkest of nights the sun will eventually shine.

    Due to frame-rate issues, I played the game on easy-mode as I was more interested in the story than the game-play, I found the story immensely compelling, so much so that I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and I think this is one amazing game despite the limitations of the software.

    One of the rare game that i actually try to finish and didn't rush it in the same time. Its hard to find a post-apocalyptic game that focus into developing a normal simple father and daughter relationship as fine and natural like this.

    *Was disappointing. The game had so much great talk on how mazing it was said to be but I just don't see it the gameplay was okay the graphics were decent and the characters were good I just don't see the game as so good.*

    It's the most overrated game of all time.

    I really think that this game is overestimated. The plot is really boring, all players praise the plot and story, but i don`t see any genius of plot. More over I think that plot is stupid. The characters is trivial and annoying mostly Ellie. Only thing that did good in this game is: graphic, music, detail and ambiance.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the most overrated game I have ever played on the PS4. Full of scripted cheating BS that forces you into stupid insane avoidable situations. Oh and the combat is so unrefined to the point of jank. What is with the slow cumbersome wobbly aim of a geriatric in a care home. So like have the developers really ever picked up a bow/pistol/rifle and shot one ffs? Oh wow melee that glitches out with really shoddy camera angles. This the best you got Naughty Dog?

    Seriously NFW Joel should be dead round about the horse section, but hey no major spoilers. I liked the gruff Joel character enough, but Ellie the swearing edgy mary sue teen character not so much. Another teenage character is in the game and yes I was convinced that they was just a teenager. Not going on forty like Ellie. Hyped game, scripted idiocy, unconvincing character development on the Ellie part. With shoddy gameplay mechanics. Nope not impressed by this game with NFW 200+ awards.

    What was even Ellie and Joels realistic stakes in all this story hey? If Ellie was just the next job or a surrogate daughter neither status played a deciding factor as regards to morals or ethics. Simply put an adult has a duty of care for a child under there supervision. That adult has a moral and ethical position to keep a child alive under their care. Joel or anyone else could not ethically or morally put that type of certain adult choice and burden on child, because they are still a child, ffs...

    So yeah with meh/jank gameplay and no real high stakes story dilemmas. Both the game and story came across as underwhelming. That is the trouble with a over hyped game and story like this it was mostly hype.    … Expand

    As linear as it gets and with arguably quite clunky controls (and meme-worthy AI), but this game is completely carried by the story and characters. For those alone it's worth a high score. The interesting world is a bonus, but the post-apocalypse setting isn't exactly new ground. Definitely worth playing now that it's so cheap.

    -Gameplay, this game takes the third-person shooter formula and makes it a more slow paced game, it challenges you to be resourceful and minimalist, this is on point with the narrative and the context of being a post apocalyptic world. Also, to really think your approach before you take action in an encounter. There is a great system in terms of management in accessing the resources and crafting them is quick.
    -Story, the connection that grows between Joel and Ellie thought the whole game is incredible, it makes you care about them and the people that they meet in their journey. From the complexity of Joel, a character that lost hope and struggles with more than surviving, to Ellie a girl that was born in this new age of humanity that fears to be alone. And of course that ending.... a philosophical question that makes you think of what is right or wrong.
    Another important aspect is the world around them, how society has changed and show their worst in some cases, the different groups of people and their philosophies like the fireflies or the cannibals.
    -Graphics/Visuals, what Naughty Dog managed to do with a PS3 system is unreal, a lot of people cannot believe that the game could even run on that machine, it will hold for a long time.
    -Multiplayer, which is the most fun I had with a multiplayer, it's addicting and very rewarding. Every match is the equivalent of a day in your small community of people, which you have to provide food and take care of, you do this by getting resources in the match, doing some challenges, etc.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Only played this game recently in the remastered version for the PS4. Once you get used to the game play and settle in, the journey of Joel and Ellie absorbs you, and you can't put it down. Joel is the ultimate anti-hero, a character who is actually not a particularly good person underneath, but you become attached to him, from the loss of his daughter through to his growing paternal love for his young associate. Ellie is scripted perfectly, never an annoyance and played with the confidence of a young woman who has been through a lot, but still has the teenage naivety that you would expect of a 14 year old. The controls and shooting mechanics are excellent. This game is scary, tense, emotional and satisfying. I can't wait for the sequel.… Expand

Great soundtrack, great enviroment, well written characters. This game is just one of the best i have ever played. Good job Bruce Straley for making this game, and Thank you Gustavo Santaollala that you made this climatic, and beautiful soundtrack that makes the game even more emotional. This game made me express many emotions, that no game ever made. From the tearful intro, through Joel meeting Ellie, heroic Tess' death, hilarious argue's between Bill and Ellie, unexpected death of Henry and Sam, Joel meeting his brother once again, Ellie making Joel survive, Ellie dealing and killing David all by herself then some amazing moments with giraffes, Joel rescuing Ellie from Marlene, to the beautiful end where Joel has to lie to Ellie. This journey is beautiful, and i don't know if any other game will manage to re-do it as Past Naughty Dog did. Thank god Part II isn't canon because this game ended Joel's and Ellie's story perfectly just like Uncharted 4 ended Nate's story.… Expand

    Story is great because it embeds itself within the game, you feel a connection with the characters and the dread of what they have to face is compelling, you feel like you are playing for a purpose not just for the sake of playing a game

    I really respect the game for not using cheap gameplay such as bad guys suddenly jumping out on you or making them increasingly harder to beat, showering you with endless weapons or cheesy end of level bosses. It really is what you make of it, to beat the game on the hardest mode you would really have to master it

    There are parts of levels that are tedious because they are so linear the solutions to the problems are inevitable so there's not much joy in solving them, not sure whether this is genius or poor level design

    Characters are a bit dull as they're so serious with each other all the time unlike Uncharted where there characters have a bit more of a cheery side also the side characters come and go quite quickly

The game play is either slowly walking around, slowly crawling around, climbing up and down ladders thousands of times, watching cutscenes, or charging at guys while getting shot in the face multiple times and then insta-killing baddies by stabbing them in the arm with broken glass... You can also sneak up on people and strangle them so you can watch the 15 second strangle animation over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over while other baddies wander around feet away completely oblivious. The stealth system is stupid and broken.

    PLOT SPOILERS: The game starts with Joel's (the character you play as) daughter being killed during the opening stages of a zombie apocalypse. (Such innovation, much wow!) 20 years later Joel meets Ellie (a girl who is the same age as his daughter when she died) who is immune to the zombie fungus. You then spend 20 hours playing a ladder climbing simulator to get Ellie to a hospital so they can use her to make a cure. At the end Joel murders an entire hospital's worth of doctors and nurses working to cure the fungus because the procedure they are going to do on Ellie to create a cure will cause her death. Joel thus dooms humanity. I think the game is trying to make some kind point about humanity being bad here but it gets lost in the ladder climbing and nonsensical plot. If I could give this game negative points I would. Don't waste your time.    … Expand

    The first thing to note is that the game is surprinsingly short (Hard playthrough) - The absence of uniquely crafted set pieces points towards the fact that the game might have had a lower budget than previous naughty dog productions.

Gameplay wise, you are looking at a competent stealth action game, but that does nothing new to advance the genre.

    Let's be clear, as far as stealth options are concerned, you get to chose between throwing a brick, or a bottle, that's it. There are no exciting environmental opportunities to leverage, no interesting situational obstacles to deal with, and boredom sets in as, you deal with fairly identical situations, over, and over. Think of Uncharted, with extra boring interruptions, walking sections, and with the fun action bits removed. They also got rid of the puzzles too since you now get to play with bricks and ladders.

    The crafting and looting is competently handled, but there is really nothing in terms of gadgets or skill tree worth praising above and beyond the competition.

    And that's my problem, in the light of all of these observations, it is difficult for me to accept the praise the game has garnered. Maybe an exceptional scenario and plot could have justified the praises, but considering how cliche and predictable the story is, it is that much more difficult to reconcile myself with its critical success.

    Yes, the acting, music, presentation and production value is a cut above the competition, but as far as 2013 release games, I can think of so many games that easily outclass The last of us in terms of game and level design, pacing, mechanics, and player agency. Games such as Tomb raider, Blacklist, GTAV, not only do more, but they do it better - and if we wanted to draw a comparison with a game that more closely resembles the last of us, Spec ops: The line is the more successful of the two in realizing both its game-play and story-telling ambitions.

    The last of us remains a moderately enjoyable game, it does have a few saving graces in terms of scenario and game-play (like the hunting sandbox at the beginning of the winter chapter), but it is far too repetitive and limited in scope to be considered anything above the best the competition has to offer. It is also worth noting that 2 of Resident evil 4's most memorable, fun, and iconic game-play moments were "borrowed" by Naughty dog, though not as well executed as in Capcom's masterwork.

    As a videogame, The last of us only truly excels at mimicking what has previously been done better on film and TV, yet does very little in terms of intelligent design, and interactive story telling.    … Expand

    Naughty Dawg continue to pump out great narrative driven action games. TLOU however, might be their magnum opus. Cinematic story telling at its peak, this is a must play for the characters and plot.

    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.

    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.

Naughty Dog the king of Story Telling knock it out of the park on this one. It only took me a few minute then I was hooked. You start off playing as Joel's dau which adds a nice little touch. I believe this adds more weight to the character then if she was judt another npc. Tregedy doon strikes and Joels's daughter is catelessly shot and killed in the first 5-10 mintes. Never have zI felt such loss while playing a video game. This leads Joel on a downward Spiral. This game incorporates a great story telling. The game play is top notch also.

    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]
