    An amazing story showing us a little bit of good in a horrible world torn apart by zombie infection. In a place that people will kill each other without a second thought two unlikely characters meet each other and create an unbreakable bond that is slowly changing them over time. It's the story that is showing us that even after the darkest of nights the sun will eventually shine.

    Due to frame-rate issues, I played the game on easy-mode as I was more interested in the story than the game-play, I found the story immensely compelling, so much so that I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and I think this is one amazing game despite the limitations of the software.

    One of the rare game that i actually try to finish and didn't rush it in the same time. Its hard to find a post-apocalyptic game that focus into developing a normal simple father and daughter relationship as fine and natural like this.

    *Was disappointing. The game had so much great talk on how mazing it was said to be but I just don't see it the gameplay was okay the graphics were decent and the characters were good I just don't see the game as so good.*

    It's the most overrated game of all time.

    Gran Survival Horror con una de las mejores historias jamas contadas en un videojuego, además de un apartado gráfico increíble, el mejor de su generación de consolas.

    Fantastic narrative broken up by mediocre gameplay, was severely disappointed with the end result after the decade of hype surrounding this title.

    Unforgettable and truly remarkable duo of characters, especially Joel whom I would consider one of the greatest written characters in a long while.

    The game is simply a masterpiece. From the level design, story, character interaction, and sound everything is carefully crafted. Ellie and Joel's relationship is what defines this game.

    I really think that this game is overestimated. The plot is really boring, all players praise the plot and story, but i don`t see any genius of plot. More over I think that plot is stupid. The characters is trivial and annoying mostly Ellie. Only thing that did good in this game is: graphic, music, detail and ambiance.

    Simplesmente Incrível! O melhor jogo que eu já joguei na vida! Pode não ser um jogo perfeito, mas ele com certeza merece muito mais uma nota 10 que uma nota 9

The hype for The Last Of Us Part II is huge! Expand

    I wouldn't exaggerate if I said "the best story that I've seen in a video game" Throughout the years since 2013, I played the game several times and I feel like the same way when I felt playing the game for the first time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the most overrated game I have ever played on the PS4. Full of scripted cheating BS that forces you into stupid insane avoidable situations. Oh and the combat is so unrefined to the point of jank. What is with the slow cumbersome wobbly aim of a geriatric in a care home. So like have the developers really ever picked up a bow/pistol/rifle and shot one ffs? Oh wow melee that glitches out with really shoddy camera angles. This the best you got Naughty Dog?

    Seriously NFW Joel should be dead round about the horse section, but hey no major spoilers. I liked the gruff Joel character enough, but Ellie the swearing edgy mary sue teen character not so much. Another teenage character is in the game and yes I was convinced that they was just a teenager. Not going on forty like Ellie. Hyped game, scripted idiocy, unconvincing character development on the Ellie part. With shoddy gameplay mechanics. Nope not impressed by this game with NFW 200+ awards.

    What was even Ellie and Joels realistic stakes in all this story hey? If Ellie was just the next job or a surrogate daughter neither status played a deciding factor as regards to morals or ethics. Simply put an adult has a duty of care for a child under there supervision. That adult has a moral and ethical position to keep a child alive under their care. Joel or anyone else could not ethically or morally put that type of certain adult choice and burden on child, because they are still a child, ffs...

    So yeah with meh/jank gameplay and no real high stakes story dilemmas. Both the game and story came across as underwhelming. That is the trouble with a over hyped game and story like this it was mostly hype.

    One of the best story driven game ever made! A title worth playing if you still believe in single person games.

    Flawless in its ambition and almost perfect in its execution. A brave and remarkable game quite unlike any other.

    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]
