    Mit dem zum Ende der PS3 Ära erschienenen "The Last of Us" bewiesen Naughty Dog, dass sie nicht nur klamaukige Indiana Jones Action inszenieren können, sondern ebenso ein bedrückendes Endzeitszenario mit echtem Survival Horror Feeling.

Die Interaktion der Hauptcharaktere,Mit dem zum Ende der PS3 Ära erschienenen "The Last of Us" bewiesen Naughty Dog, dass sie nicht nur klamaukige Indiana Jones Action inszenieren können, sondern ebenso ein bedrückendes Endzeitszenario mit echtem Survival Horror Feeling. Gerade was das Kreieren authentischer Charaktere angeht, zeigt Naughty Dog anderen Gamestudios wie es gemacht wird. Die Interaktion der Hauptcharaktere, deren wachsende Beziehung, wirkt so natürlich und lebensnah, dass man regelrecht hineingesogen wird in die Geschichte, die das Abenteuer um Joel und Ellie aufspannt. Natürlich trägt auch die kinoreife Inszenierung hierzu bei, die nahezu nahtlos zwischen Gameplay und Cut Szenes überblendet. Zudem ist der Plot extrem gut erzählt, bietet dramatische Höhepunkte und Wendungen, die einen wirklich berühren und teils gar schockieren können. Mit dazu bei tragen auch die vielen authentisch geschriebenen NPCs, die uns auf unserer Reise immer wieder episodenhaft begegnen. Das Gameplay zwischen Stealth und Deckungsshooter ist zudem erfreulich unaufgeregt gestaltet, lebt von der Spannung und gibt Luft zum überlegten Vorgehen. Alle Mechaniken sind einfach, aber gut umgesetzt. Gerade das "on the fly" Craften von Gegenständen bringt Spannung ins Spiel und macht Kämpfe kurzweilig und taktisch zugleich. The Last of Us macht einfach alles richtig, und kann dazu bewegen, wie kaum an anderes Spiel seiner Generation. Warum viele Worte verlieren. The Last of Us ist sicher das beeindruckendste und nachhaltigste Spieleerlebnis der PS3 Ära. Chapeau an Naughty Dog für dieses Meisterstück.… Expand

    Playing this in 2022, I just did not get what the fuss is about. Sure it is outdated by now, but the gameplay is repetitive as hell, and that's not something to do with technology or graphics. See Mario Galaxy from 2007 - fascinating gameplay that keeps changing gimmicks every 5 minutes. The Last of Us not only has boring gameplay, but it is very cyclical too.

    In 2022 this is amazing game! True story about humanism. A subtle reflection of love in the broadest sense of the word. And all around is darkness and ultra-violence. Stop war in

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It was a good game don't get me wrong but I really don't understand the GOTY hype. I freaking love Naughty Dog. The Uncharted series is one of my most favourite series of all time but this? I found Joel to be very unlikeable, an absolute asshat. And because he was such an asshat it was really hard to enjoy the story. Ellie was the saving grace for me. Controls were clunky and gun play frustrating. I did think the areas you travelled through were quite nice, but not as nice as some other places Naughty Dog has taken me to. Maybe I was expecting something mind-blowing because of the hype or I played this too late after it had been released. Either way, good but not great. I'll still be giving TLOU2 a go which I might actually enjoy more knowing Joel doesn't play such a significant part.… Expand

    Trovo la trama pessima e stereotipata come poche Il gameplay é semplicemente vergognoso, quanto di peggiore abbia mai visto. In una parola: sopravvalutato. Trash allo stato pure capace di emozionare solamente i casual

    Naughty Dog, have outdone themselves with "The Last of Us". Keep in mind I still haven't played "Bioshock Infinite" (Yet), but "The Last of Us" represents the best so far of 2013 and the first game that delivers a level of immersion, emotion and game play we haven't had for quite a long time.

    The plot involves a breakout of spores from the nonfictional fungi "Cordyceps", that in this story have mutated to be able to infect humans. Cut to 20 years later, nature has taken back a lot of the cities and landscapes of America you'll traverse as Joel, a man now in his 40's-50's who's lost large parts of his life to this epidemic. Joel's mission is to escort young teenage girl Ellie, across these wastelands in a tale that spans all four seasons. Unfortunately this also means coming across a lot of desperate people, who are willing to do almost anything in means of survival.

    That's as much as I'm willing to say without spoiling the ever expanding story, and much deeper sense of urgency. The areas in the game are superbly creepy and upsetting. Many times you'll find yourself triggering inappropriate conversations with Ellie, that do wonders in immersing you and building up personalities, therefore investing you further in how the situation will pan out for these characters.

    The Music by Gustavo Santaolalla is superb, and deeply planted into my mind as one of the best I have ever heard while playing a new game (It always shows up at the right time, just to pull you in that little deeper). But getting into the game play aspects, do you finally realise how deep Naughty Dogs efforts were. Improvisation is absolutely essential to survival, as you collect and build all these important tools to help see you through. Depending on your level of skill at the game you'll always find yourself wanting more health or ammo, regardless how much or how little you have. It goes from part drama, part adventure to even survival horror seamlessly, never becoming too overwhelming that you'll find the situation boring.

    My final thoughts on this game go to the terrific performances from Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson, for captivating us so well throughout this story. Motion capture is starting to really help blur the lines between movies and games now. Sooner or later I believe that stories like "The Last Of Us", will help define how we will view both mediums in terms of the word "Art", and dare I say "Expression".

    Final Verdict: I consider myself an avid gamer (I even went out and bought a PS3, mostly just to play this game). I loved "Crash Bandicoot" as a kid, and "Uncharted" held me over during the 2000's. Naughty Dog, "The Last of Us" is your masterpiece, to anyone yet to experience it I urge you to take it on as soon as. 9/10.    … Expand

    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]
