    I passed this game many times (real many, over 11 times) and I wanna estimate this amazing and truly legandary game, anyway i'm starting. Primarily I must say about plot, It's wonderful! When you play this game you dive into it, you empathize whis Allie and Joel all the way. Good- worked persons and their characters. Open world where even the smallest detail is worked out.

Primarily I must say about plot, It's wonderful! When you play this game you dive into it, you empathize whis Allie and Joel all the way. Good- worked persons and their characters. Open world where even the smallest detail is worked out. Physics of guns (and fight) is very realistic, you feel the weapon, feel when bullet shoot the enemyes and when you fight you feel like your fist breaks enemyes skull. So I recommend this game and give it 10 points awarded.… Expand

    The Naughty dog made a freaking great new universe based on same-old-zombies theme. Amazing setting and story. Very great characters. Must play. That's all. The best single console game ever. Hope they could make a PC next gen full remake someday.

    One of the greatest games of all times, your history, graprichs (at that time, for ps3), ambiance and combined with a spectacular soundtrack gaves an incredible game. This game, a hundred per cent,
    was worth every penny.

It was TLOU who created the trend for such bizarre action-games standards (previous Naughty Dog games hadn't such influence even though had pretty similar game design approach). Can't blame Sony for that — demand breeds supply, after all. But i personally can't understand people who give this game the title of the best of the decade. Doubtless, story is awesome, but overall gameplay is average at best. Action component was entirely adopted from Uncharted franchise, so nothing new to see here. Stealth is poor due to AI imperfection and survival side of the game properly reveals only on hard difficulties.

    7/10 Not bad, but a tad too overrated    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. - Falta de originalidad y clichés:
    Desaprovechamiento sobre el concepto de los "zombies" para dar una idea propia que lo diferencie de las distintas obras postapocalípticas
    Joel y Ellie juegan un papel en la trama demasiado recurrido en las distintas obras del mismo genero
    Se utilizan clichés del genero postapocalíptico para dar recurso a las relaciones de los personajes
    - Primera mitad redundante:
    Conversaciones reiterativas muy similares que limitan el desarrollo de personajes dado a que la información que se nos plantea se desenlaza siempre de la misma manera
    Situaciones repetitivas las cuales van ligadas a estas mismas conversaciones que siempre acaban en una situación limite o dramática y hace que desvíen a estas personajes, lo cual lo vuelve forzado y en vez de sentirse como algo impactante emocionalmente parece que alarga la trama de forma artificial
    -Situaciones inverosímiles que se agravan dado el tono realista que quiere llegar a conseguir
    Distintas situaciones poco creíbles que contrasta con lo que quiere llegar a transmitir principalmente personajes sobreviviendo de forma irreal a situaciones de gran riesgo que contrasta con lo que quiere transmitir
    Inteligencia artificial en combate con reacciones y acciones incoherentes
    -Disonancia ludo narrativa
    La jugabilidad también contradice a lo que quiere llegar a generar lo cual empeora algunas de las situaciones mas importantes y el hecho de tener sistemas de "videojuegos" que sacan de la experiencia y ejemplos de estos hay muchos.
    -Jugabilidad aburrida
    Puzzles sencillos en donde mueves cajas o escaleras o caminas en linea recta simplemente que rompen completamente con el ritmo del juego ademas de ser bastante repetitivos,
    Un sistema de disparos un tanto generico aunque desafiente
    Algunas habilidades excesivamente mejores que otras lo cual lo vuelve iterativo y facil de explotar las habilidades en combate y la jugabilidad contradice muchas veces a su guion

    Historia: 7/10
    Jugabilidad: 6/10

    On paper, the story of The Last of Us sounds like it's just another zombie-apocalypse story about saving humanity in a dark, depressing and grim enviroment depicting how selfish humans are "the real monsters".

And honestly, it is: the derivative nature of this story is blatant and undeniable. But it's also so much more than that. The real focus of The Last of Us' story is not its enviroment and plot, but its characters. The characters and their dialogues in this game are so well-written, so deep and grounded that they all feel like real people, and therefore the entire drama of their situation in this crumbling world hits the player way harder. There is no stereotypical good and evil in this story: there are only humans going by their survival instinct, trying their best to survive in this hell, even if it means doing the selfish choice. You don't play to see where the story goes, but to see how the characters will develop, how they will change each other, for better or worse, all the way to the ending, a thought-provoking moral dilemma about love and sacrifice, that will forever stay in the player's mind. If the ending is so impactful and memorable it's only thanks to these impeccable characters and the believable emotional journey they went through. The story is, without a doubt, the main reason to play The Last of Us. But what about the gameplay?
    Truth is, The Last of Us is also a pretty darn good game, for the most part.
    First and foremost, the game decides to convey the harsh, grim costant survival struggle of the characters in this story by making it an actual component of the gameplay, which is the gathering of resources scattered through the level, to create tools and weapons necessary to comfortably and more efficiently get through subsequent levels. The base concept is really fun and immersive, but in practice it can easily become quite tedious to just spam the triangle button on everything to scavenge mindlessly, especially on subsequent playthtroughs. Still, even so, the thrill of having few ammunitions, and therefore feeling the tension of potentially missing a shot and wasting a valuable bullet, or having to decide whether to craft one medikit or one molotov bomb with your lmited resources adds an exciting layer of strategic planning and improv to the action, greatly enhancing the personal satisfaction after winning battles.
    Speaking of battles, there are two kinds of enemies you'll be facing in the game: humans and infected. And infected come in three varieties, each with their own characteristics and weak points, to be extremely mindful of. Usually encounters with humans and infected are cycled through, creating a nice sense of variety, because as soon as you'll be bored with humans you will most likely stumble upon infected, and vice-versa. The areas in which you'll be fighting these opponents are also extremely variegated, offering countless options to either wreak havoc or approach stealthly, causing distractions, laying traps or flanking the enemy.
    The only downside is that, between infected and humans, infected are almost always the most fun to fight, since not only they're more dangerous and unpredictable, thus offering more of a challenge (the game is way too easy on difficulties lower than Survivor), but the humans' artificial intelligence is often extremely idiotic, which offers some good laughs early on, but just ruins the atmosphere and challenge later on.
    Speaking of ruining the atmosphere: as we've seen, The Last of Us is a story-driven experience, and therefore the story sometimes needs to reach a certain situation, even if the player isn't aware of it yet. Without spoiling anything, this can cause a few awkward situations where the player could realistically do a thing, but said thing simply doesn't work, even if it logistically doesn't make sense, because the player needs to approach the problem in a specific way for the story to advance further.
    Lastly: to offer variety and a change of pace, the game will often present you some "puzzles", to traverse the enviroment or overcome some sort of obstacle. These are great for immersion, but are so incredibly repetitive and tedious that they becomejust a chore to go through. Or, in other words: The Last of Us is firstly an incredible story, because even if the plot itself is for the most part extremely predictable and incredibly derivative, the characters are so exceptionally written and believable that they are more than enough to keep you engaged with their emotional journey. As a game it's just as great: with extremely solid gunplay, great enemy variety and everchanging level design there is lots of fun to be had in many different scenarios, and yet the game can't achieve its greatest potential due to pretty repetitive puzzles, a few awkward scenarios where story and gameplay collide and, generally speaking, a little too easy (mostly due to the often stupid AI and the Over-Powered Listen Mode).    … 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]
