    One of the best story telling in a video game. It's not a very creative story. But it's very well told.

    (disclaimer: i am scoring this one higher due to the sequel being hurt by Neil Druckmann being an egotistical ass)

    pros - the gameplay and combat are evenly balanced between exposition and tense battles of survival and there is a whole lot of crunch to the game play that helps set it apart and add a sense of identity - the bond between Ellie and Joel is full of heart is well and    (disclaimer: i am scoring this one higher due to the sequel being hurt by Neil Druckmann being an egotistical ass)

    pros

    - the gameplay and combat are evenly balanced between exposition and tense battles of survival and there is a whole lot of crunch to the game play that helps set it apart and add a sense of identity

    - the bond between Ellie and Joel is full of heart is well and truly the glue that hold the game together and helps add a sense of hope to an otherwise hopeless set of circumstances e.g Ellie,s joke book helps lighten the mood and prevent the game from being complete misery lit

    - the art and sound design are quite good and there very little bad to say about it

    cons
    - the story does following the usual story beats done in postapocayptic stories e.g
    cannibals,fighting over resources,pragmatists vs idealists, that is the only really bad thing i can say about this game.

    (ps i also own a ps3 and have played other naughty dog tiles from start to Finnish include the first 3 uncharted games , as well i finished tlou 2 times)    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Masterpiece for gaming. This was the first game that I played had a relationship which was so convincingly done but the factor that earns a 10 from me is that, in the end it has you murder people who are wanting to save the world for your own selfish cause and you actually feel ok about it after the credits roll. That's a fantastic achievement in writing.… Expand

    This was a surprise discovery for me. I read the best game on all generations at the moment. I can’t say that there is outstanding gameplay, or graphics. But the story ... it is beautiful in all its manifestations. This game is not about graphics, this is a game about relationships.

    TLOU came late in the PS3's lifespan but it was worth the wait! The graphics are superb, of course, and the gameplay is smooth and streamlined. But it's the story and the way it is presented that make this game a one-in-a-million. It's thrilling and emotionally engaging. And you fall in love with these characters, especially Joel and Ellie. The (voice) acting is breathtaking. A masterpiece!

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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I wouldn't call this game perfect, but it's pretty close for me. I wanted to rate this a 9.8. Since I cannot, I will give it a 10 because it is closer to a 10 than a 9. There IS the occasional glitch (as with most games), but the only thing that really takes me out of the experience is when Ellie will run out in front of the enemies and they will not see her at all! These moments remind you that you're playing a game and take you out of the experience.

    Other than that, the story is absolutely top notch, the acting is top notch. One of the most engaging experiences I've ever played. (and I've been gaming since around the age of 3 back in '83!) The combat is underpowered in comparison to other games, but I LOVE that. It really gives a sense of fear and dread as you move along in the game. It really emphasizes the need for stealth. I would recommend this game to almost anyone, except for those who just absolutely loathe stealth games. Even then, you should give it a shot at least for the story and acting. The first 10 minutes will make at least a tear come to your eye. If it doesn't, then you probably aren't human.    … Expand

This game does an amazing job of storytelling from beginning to end using environments and atmosphere to amplify character interactions. Pretty much every character seen has an emotional impact on the player in one way or another. The gameplay is mostly good scavenging for supplies while exploring scary or dangerous areas can feel really rewarding especially with all the craftable gear. The gun play and fighting can feel slightly clunky at time, also the stealth mechanic can also be annoying when enemies somehow spot you through walls leading to unwarranted deaths. The slight inconvenience in the gameplay doesn't ruin it and it is still fun to play. Overall, it is just an amazing game to playthrough and experience especially the first time.… Expand

    Story and characters made this game a masterpiece, game-play is brutal and fun, survival and horror tension are often breathtaking, the game-play diversity could be perfectible, but I personally love it mostly for the scenario and its characters development. (multiplayer mode is pretty cool too)

The graphics, gameplay, and development of complex characters is what did it for me! I can confidently say that the development for Joel and Ellie made the characters come to life in a way that I was able to find a deep emotional attachment to. The side characters do not feel impersonal at all (I loved them all especially Bill!), but add complex notes of what it means to be human and survive in such a violent and post apocalyptic world. I especially love the constrast between light/dark moments in the game for it really puts into perspective the theme of finding love and hope in unexpected and dark place. I played this game years for the first a year or so after its release and it was worth every minute. I don’t usually play games multiple times, but this one was just that amazing.… 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]
