    This game is a masterpiece. No need to go too deep into it. It's a masterclass in storytelling. Gameplay is very solid. Graphics are the best of its era. Joel and Ellie are such good characters.

    The game is absolutely stunning, the graphics are awesome, the story is heartbreaking and touching. At the end you are soooo inlove with the characters that you are scared of how their relationship will go in the future. It's a must play both part one and part two.

    Самая ЛУЧШАЯ игра, в которую я играл, это просто шедевр! The last of us стала моей любимой из любимиших игр в моей жизни, и навсегда останется в моём сердце!

    The thing about videogames is, imo, they should be fun to play. Last of Us offers a very great story, and would probably be a great movie or show, but the gameplay is usually bland/boring with occasional moments of intensity.

It's basically an interactive movie with little freedom to do anything else.    … Expand

    I have never been a fan of games with horror zombie apocalypse topics. I played some of them such as The Evil Within games, tried one Resident Evil game and few others. The common thing for all those games (in my opinion) was that they are very successful in making you scared and uncomfortable but when it comes to the storylines - they were all so thin and weak, sometimes even pointless. II have never been a fan of games with horror zombie apocalypse topics. I played some of them such as The Evil Within games, tried one Resident Evil game and few others. The common thing for all those games (in my opinion) was that they are very successful in making you scared and uncomfortable but when it comes to the storylines - they were all so thin and weak, sometimes even pointless. I am fine with gore and fear but if that is the only point in the game then I do not find it really interesting.

    I have been avoiding playing The Last of Us because I thought it is just another zombie game but when I finally started playing I saw after two hours of gameplay that this game is completely different. This is the first game with such topic (zombie outbreak) that I liked and it definitely is the best game with zombies and one of the best games that I have ever played and that is because it only uses the zombie apocalypse as an atmosphere in which context lies a story about Joel, the adult and Ellie, fourteen year old girl, who are on their journey through the country. The game puts an accent on the story and does not have a gameplay based on infinite shooting at zombies, or how they call them in the game, infected. It is far from that but the gameplay is far from a piece of cake and it should also satisfy gamers who are into action and shooting, especially if they select harder difficulty modes.

    I played both PS3 and PS4 version of this game and visually it is one of the best looking games for PS3. Even in 2020, 7 years after it was released, this game still looks very nice being put next to some other good looking PS4 titles. The PS4 remastered version has a little visual improvements such as full HD resolution and more fps.

    Speaking of a gameplay, The Last of Us does not bring many innovations - it rather improves some stuff that we already saw in third person action-adventure games. The gameplay perfectly combines exploration and combat with cutscenes without overdoing each of those. You can play this game in many ways. You can be aggressive and shoot everything at your sight but you can also sneak and be quiet. There are many ways of passing through the areas and for the most part you can really choose if you want to assassinate your enemies or find a way around.

    Through the game you will find different sorts of weapons and there is a crafting system allowing you to make improvised bombs and melee weapons.

    Another part of a gameplay is walking and exploration followed by interesting dialogs.

    The Last of Us has a very fine acting, one of the best I saw in video games, which an emotional story of this game certainly needs, a story that most of the players would breathlessly follow until the end.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What The Last of Us has that others games don't? The combat and gameplay are great, but no exceptional, the graphics are just gorgeous, as Naughty Dog always makes, the story is amazing and the storytelling top notch, but not for a 10. Then, what is it? The short dialogues and expressions between the characters and their development. This game has some of the greatest character's development, and if you don't pay attention to little things, expressions, faces, and short dialogues between Ellie and Joel, you won't see how great this game really is. Walking around the cities, abandon houses and buildings, listening and learning with the characters, as you are part of that, as you are also growing with them. The most significant scene that express the core of the game, is the one where Ellie and Joel see some giraffes and pet them. That scene seems to be just a simple and nice part of the game, but it has a deep meaning behind it, expressing the changes and the development of the world and of Ellie and Joel, as they now move on and continue to walk, with only the future ahead. Seeing how the city that once was full of people, which now has animals walking freely around it, makes you wonder if the future will be good or bad, but they move on. And we also move on, taking step by step to the future where we belong. The Last of Us ending is one of the most discussed endings: was Joel right or wrong? It all depends how you look at it. He was not wrong, but he was not right. He was a cold man, he was broken and fixed on the past. Ellie showed him how the present and future can be good, and he moved on. Ellie saved him, and he saved Ellie for his own well being. I can't say I don't understand him, as I would do the very same thing. We are all humans after all.… Expand

    I've always believed "nothings perfect," then I played this game. The Last of Us is, at its core, a simple story/narrative told flawlessly.

The story is about the relationship between Joel and Ellie which is developed flawlessly and at a perfect pace through well-timed story beats, relatable dialogue, environmental storytelling, and even combat. Moments of darkness are offset by moments of light, both that contribute to the narrative. Every single side character Joel and Ellie come across strengthens their personal motivations, their bond, all while having a believable arc of their own. Combat fits the world perfectly, and Ellie's scrappiness is conveyed perfectly through how she develops during combat sequences. The development of Joel and Ellie's father/surrogate daughter relationship feels very real, relatable, and honest, and the ending will have you asking yourself morally complex questions. This is the greatest story ever told by video games, T.V shows, and even movies.… Expand

    This is hands-down the best video game since probably Final Fantasy VII back in 1997. Not only was it graphically stunning (it's still impressive 7 years and a console generation later), it was pretty revolutionary at the time.

The way the environment was incorporated into melee combat especially stood out to me at the time.This is hands-down the best video game since probably Final Fantasy VII back in 1997.

    The story was absolutely captivating. The characters were likable and well-written. You empathized with them and you felt their pain for the choices they had to make. This was one of those once in a generation games that showed you what a genre could be instead of just a new skin on the same style and format.

    Crafting items wasn't overwhelming with 10 different upgrade trees and a convoluted system that required you to wander around doing side quests for hours before you moved on. It was just enough to make sense and for pretty much everything to be useful.

    Fighting infected enemies was genuinely terrifying and stressful. Human enemies followed predictable paths and the AI wasn't great, but each fight always felt personal and intense.

    This game is just phenomenal; one of the best of all-time.    … Expand

    All that can be said of how good the game is too obvious to be told, I just want to give a bow to naughty dog for being such a great company capable of such evolving from crash bandicoot to the last of us. I don't think I have ever played a game like this. Saying this game was great would be an understatement

    - Excelente desenvolvimento dos personagens principais.
    - Conseguiu criar uma atmosfera de pós-pandemia muito convincente. Diferente de jogos do mesmo gênero, consegue criar no jogador um sentimento de tensão constante e urgência.
    - O sistema de encontrar recursos e ter que "craftar" os itens com os reagentes certos nos locais certos agregam a trama do jogo
    - A partir da trama é possível extrair uma série de temas filosóficos que continuam pertinentes no mundo contemporâneo. Ex: homem é o lobo do homem; política; fragilidade da vida humana; egoísmo; amor; sacrifício
    - gráficos realistas
    - excelente trilha sonora
    - excepcional trabalho de consistência entre dublador e personagem. Ex: a voz da dubladora da ellie encaixou certinho com a personagem.

    --> Pontos negativos:
    - Existência de uma DLC que deveria ser parte do jogo original. Quem jogou o game em fase teve que comprar a DLC por fora. NaughtyDog lançou o jogo de modo incompleto e se você quiser a experiência completa terá que pagar 2x pelo mesmo jogo.
    - Incoerência entre armas no jogo e na vida real. Ex: você dá um tiro de shotgun num cidadão a uma distância de 2m e ele não morre com um tiro.    … Expand

    Great game with a thrilling story that keeps you in suspense till the end. Story and characters are strong in this title but gameplay becomes a little bit repetitive after some time but it is not a major issue as you just plow through it to find out what will happen next.

    Si queres un juego para disfrutar este es el indicado ya que en jugabilidad musica sonora y historia este juego cumple con todas y muy bien ,por algo sera que gano con más de 240 premios por ser nombrado como el Mejor juego del año con justa razón .La historia te llega muy profundo ya que la tratan con mucho cuidado y no es la típica historia/videojuego de zombies ya que te lo presentan de una forma mas realista y fiel a la realidad ya que el virus si existe en las hormigas, obviamente tiene su lado fantasioso pero no tanto como otros juegos pero en si muy bien en ese aspecto ,la banda sonora de Gustavo Santaolalla un genio ya que con su música te logra trasmitir los sentimientos de los personajes y en la parte 2 obviamente también , los actores Ashley Johnson en idioma original y Mariela Centurión en latino como ellie y Troy Baker en audio original y Adrián Wowczuk en latino como joel y el demás cast tremenda actuación si pueden y tienen tiempo busquen comos grabaron las escenas y se nota que son grandiosos actores.En conclusión el juego es tremendo en todos sus aspectos y te invito a que lo juegues y lo experimentes vos mismo yo lo disfruto auque sea la novena ves que lo juegue y creo que lo jugue mas hasta lo platine en la play 4 y ahora voy por la parte 2 y si se tomaron el tiempo en leer esta opnion muchas gracias    … 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]
