    this game is going to be remember as a good classic whit amazing narrative, while tlos2 will be rebember by some as the most diviseve fanbase caused by a poor narrative written by neil druckman.
    the remake is an obvious atempt at fiting his poor narrative while meking more chash grabe (in my opinion), this game dosen't need a remake is just fine the way it is.

    This game opened a new door for the gaming industry and showed even people outside the community that games can be just as, or even stronger experiences than top level TV entertainment. At release, and to this day one of the best storytelling, music and scenery of all time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In 2016 I bought this game because it was on sale not knowing anything about it, and I can say it was the best choice I've ever made related to games, at the time I played a lot of games but most of them were multiplayer or online so I didn't have any experience with story games and this was the best way to start the game is perfect, the story is the best of all the games I've played you create a connection with the characters and as the story goes it only grows stronger, seeing the journey of this 2 characters going through hell to try to save humanity just to turn around and save the one person you really feel attached to, gameplay-wise is a big upgrade from uncharted and it deserves all the awards it got, it will forever be my favorite game.… Expand

    If there ever were a game that would challenge the conceptions of someone who says adults shouldn't play video games anymore, The Last of Us is it.

    The Last of Us is an extremely derivative product, narratively speaking, as it reuses horror concepts already seen in thousands of other stories, but the plot still manages to be one of the most compelling ever told in a videogame thanks to its greatly nuanced characters and their deeply believable interactions, enhanced by amazing performances of the voice actors. It is a tender but raw depiction of humanity, with a finale that twists the themes on their head with a thought-provoking moral dilemma. Even in gameplay, the game uses concepts and mechanics already seen in other games, but by carefully merging them into a cohesive balance, it creates something extremely engaging and addicting. The game will put you up against hostile humans or various zombie-like creatures, which are groups that require extremely different approaches from each other. Regrettably, the game's greatest failure is precisely the AI of human enemies: they are often painfully dumb and too easy to fool. This makes their encounter much less thrilling than the ones against the zombie-like beings, much more challenging and engaging thanks to their animalistic, unpredictable routines. Nonetheless, by smartly cycling through these two enemy types the game keeps the flow of gameplay excellently variegated, also thanks to an amazing level design with areas often multilayered and always dense of possible routes for both the player and the enemy, granting the player a huge amount of strategic freedom. To fight these enemies we have a pretty small set of weapons, but on top of that we can utilize a series of various tools, traps and explosives. To craft these, the player will need to find the required materials in the environment. The hunt for materials, although pretty tedious after a while, adds a new explorative layer to the game as it makes environments an integral part of the experience. Its also used to enhance immersion, as the story can place dialogue while the player is scavenging for materials. The other thing that the game uses to add flavor between enemy encounters are environmental puzzles, which are extremely simplistic and excruciatingly repetitive, feeling more like padding.    … Expand

    Uma das melhores histórias do mundo dos games, apesar de eu não curtir muito a gameplay, a narrativa sustenta tudo e é obrigatório pra quem curte bons jogos, pra mim, o único The Last of Us que existe.

    Практически безупречный проект и, по мнению большинства, сильнейшая работа в портфолио Naughty Dog, которая в год релиза снесла мне башню и ещё долгие годы оставалась в числе любимых.

Тем не менее, спустя почти десять лет я стал несколько дотошен до контента и к этой игре у меня накопились свои придирки. Все они касаются только режиссуры кат-сцен, которые со временем показались мне излишне динамичными и местами очень обрывчатыми, что несколько раз в течении прохождения бьёт по погружению. Лишь поэтому я не могу полностью назвать TLOU идеальной. В остальном, все похвалы в её адрес абсолютно заслужены. И с этой игрой Naughty Dog, я надеюсь, вступила в эру более взрослых произведений и уже не будет возвращаться к семейным играм.… Expand

    Quite slow through first half, somwhat repetitive. That would be my only criticism. The rest is pretty amazing. Love the way the story is told through gameplay (mostly). Quite pure in comparison with Part II.

The multiplayer Factions is really addictive and had a good system of progression. In conclusion The Last of Us is a great game with some things of survival horror and action adventure , that end the era of Playstation 3 with this great and solid game , with the exception of the IA problems or some details to be fix but is great.… Expand

    Mucha gente se queja del final de TLoU2, pero éste? Es lo peor, arruina lo poquito de compadecencia que le tenía a Joel, muy rebuscado y es evidentemente una excusa para sacar una secuela. Mal ahí TLoU.

    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]
