    The game cannot really be given a vote higher than 7 because it has 1 critical bug and several serious bugs, despite the updates/patches. The saving system is broken, with the autosave system overwriting the manual saves.

The game hung once and the ragdoll physics is sometimes cause of ludicrous moments (like the bodies floating against gravity).

    The game's atmospheric and visually pleasing in the style of Naughty Dog's Uncharted series. There is good voice acting and characterization but in the end the gameplay mechanic doesn't break any new ground.

    I find the real and most satisfying way to play this game is at "Grounded" level where the distracting HUD and visual cues are banned, contributing immensely to the sense of danger and immersion.

    Excellent music score. Poor integration of friendly AI (the allies never really need to follow the same rules of the player and are never detected by enemies).    … Expand

    The character movement is very stiff, a lot of the times you're left wondering why you cannot jump up places or squeeze through gaps. So most of the gameplay revolves around finding alternative routes, usually by finding a wooden pallet for Ellie, giving a boost up or finding a ladder. It really becomes tiresome, especially since you can see a big gap in the object that has fallen over, that for some reason the game decides would be impossible to get through.

    I just found myself through all the Infected and shooting scenes, just saying to myself "alright we'll just get past this to get to the story". I never wanted to do the shooting or the stealth, the combat isn't good and the controls are too stiff for stealth. Hitman makes stealth fun and Gears of War makes shooting fun, but The Last of Us is neither. I never actually enjoyed the gameplay part of the game, my favourite parts were the down time, the moments I was exploring and finding cool random things in the world. What's good is the DLC is pretty much 80% of this, why I enjoyed playing the DLC more than the actual main game.

    I would love to see The Last of Us 2, maybe telling the story of the downfall as the opening part of the game was the best part of The Last of Us. I just think The Last of Us is good, just nothing amazing.    … Expand

    The Last of Us has great writing and voice work, but suffers from tired gameplay mechanics and linear design. This straightforward port does little more than slap a new coat of paint upon a solid, but overrated PS3 adventure. Still--if you missed the last-gen hype-train, this is your ticket to see what all the babbling was about.

    The game has great visuals and voice acting, and the game's presentation is interesting. The story is Joel and Ellie and their many adventures as they cross the U.S., so the game touches on different parts of their journey. Plot lines are introduced and closed, and the stories are generally good, although some of them could've been explored more (and maybe in a more interesting fashion).The game has great visuals and voice acting, and the game's presentation is interesting.

    What really gets me about the game is how much it drags. You spend ~60% of your time just looking for loot, and Joel's default 'walk' is so slow that I had to scam the game by walking at a diagonal for the whole game so that he'd actually jog.

    The gameplay itself is nothing to write home about - it reminded me of Dead Space and made me wish, at times, that I was just playing Dead Space. By the end of the game, you become kind of a weapon powerhouse, which distracts a bit from the survival aspect of the game.

    Overall - it's rather overrated, but still a reasonable game, especially in consideration of its cast and production values.    … Expand

    of all the "best games of all time" that came out last year, I'd actually put Last of Us near the bottom. But the PS4 version is an improvement and the 60fps makes the game more playable. it doesn't improve the pacing or hackneyed story though. yep, i'm a hater. but look, i still gave it a 7.

    While it has one of the best intros I've played in a while and is overall pretty entertaining, The Last of Us is horrendously overrated, especially when it comes to the story and dialogue. Seriously, how many F-bombs does a game need? It's distracting and unnecessary. The fact Ellie uses so many immediately takes away her innocence and frankly made me not care whether she died or not.

    As for gameplay, it's pretty intense, but nothing I haven't seen before. I do like the upgrade system and the fact you never really feel like you're carrying enough ammo or supplies to be comfortable. The different locales are also refreshing and the voice acting is pretty good.

    TLOU is a very good game at its core but stumbles over gameplay mechanics. The AI battles (be it human or infected) get repetitive fast. They almost ever require you to decoy-takedown-sneakpast.

For me it still is, but I can't play this game more than an hour every session (still want to finish it).… Expand

    Great production values including graphics, sound design, story and characters. However, the game itself just feels boring. Every time it almost feels as if I was trying to grind my way to the next cutscene, and that's not a great feeling to have in a game, especially in a survival horror one. Maybe it's critically acclaimed, sure, but the game for me just didn't do nearly as much.

The combat is flawless and executed perfectly in every way. Not to get ahead of myself here, but the combat is actually, in my opinion, is as sleek and satisfying as the Batman games. The characters are relatable and none of them are irritating or arbitrary in any way. The game has its eyes on cinematic side to games, just like Uncharted. It pulls it off nicely and thanks to the graphics makes cut scenes look like a Blu-Ray film, and the gameplay look like a work of interactive art. If there's one thing TLOU slips up on is the story progression. As in the places the characters go to seems a little too convenient or pre-determined a lot of the time. For example, in one section of the game you meet someone who just so happens to be a friend of the main character AND a mechanic to get them out of there as well as a car mechanic too.

    This game is recommended and does deserve the praise it gets despite the fact the people who get this for a second time on PS4 are unmistakably going to be playing the same game again. Not that there's a problem with that.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is basically how this game was made. Bunch of people went into the boardroom and decided they will make a walking/murder simulator and then attach a story about the beauty and frailty of human life to it. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to get into that when I've just murdered about 500 faceless guys, who apparently are just trying to get by like everyone else. Oh the girl is the innocent one, I get it. Nope, you murder about 50 people with her too at some point. I like the gameplay, it's smooth and the AI is decent, but it gets old after doing the same old crap for the entire game. All you do slowly walk to an area, watch a cutscene, murder about 15 guys either via sneak kills or just flat out beating their skulls in, and then repeat.

    Yeah, graphics are good and the base gameplay is solid, but I'm sorry the story is so overrated and the game gets real boring fast. Not to mention the plank sections that are just annoying, preventing you from continuing the walking simulator portion of the game. Which just takes you to the next area to murder about 50 dudes. It deserves a decent score because of the production values and polished gameplay, which eventually just gets old. Oh and a bonus for an awesome online mode. The online mode is actually the true gem of this product. Sorry, but overall, way overrated. Online makes it a 7 instead of a 6.    … Expand

    Though it seems fairly inconsequential to offer up another option about a game which has had so much written about it in the last year, my perspective is perhaps a bit different than the status quo and thus will offer it.

Many reviewers have called this game a masterpiece, of which the 'remastering' simply further elevates its masterpieceness.

    There are 2 areas which I agree The Last of Us is truly extraordinary: characterization and graphical flexibility. Note I didn't say story and graphics, because these paint a large swath over many attributes in which The Last of Us is merely good or perhaps even average.

    There may never have been characters like Joel and Ellie in a video game. If there have been I don't believe I've played it. The facial expressions, motivations, voice acting, and dialogue between them is that of a good movie or TV show. Not a great movie or TV show, but a good one, and that is enough to set it in a league of its own in the video game realm. They are the anchors of the game and without them this game is lost. Everything is built upon their relationship to each other and to the world, and it is executed beautifully.

    Perhaps you were wondering about that second extraordinary characteristic, "graphical flexibility" (I'll admit I perhaps just made that up). What I mean by that are moments of truly great presentation that by all accounts would have appeared to be a pre-rendered scene if it weren't for the fact that you just caused it to happen. For instance, say you're in the midst of a zombie horde and out of bullets and decide it's time to give them a good thrashing with your trusty baseball bat. You start to hit them and the camera reacts and Joel's movements look so natural it truly does look right out of a movie. Or if a "clicker" gets the better of you and bears into your neck another cut-scene arises that purely originated from your actions. I marveled at these over and over at these thinking something would be messed up, something would be out of place or someone's motions would appear out of place. That never happened. Every time it felt completely real. They've tapped something here that if it could be expanded upon and continued will add a tremendous amount to absorption in a game.

    Now for the rest of it. Well the rest of it is good, if not forgettable. The graphics are solid for sure, good lighting and textures, nothing that hasn't been done before but certainly they are pretty. The story aside from the characters isn't terribly original. There's some interesting twists, but overall there's not much here to separate from the other thousand zombie stories floating around. The gameplay is a bit dull. If you've played any of the Uncharted series you'll likely know their shooting mechanics aren't exactly top shelf, and the solitary puzzle element of finding a ladder or something to jump on isn't terribly riveting. The best moments of combat come from when you run out of bullets and are down on your luck, and have to sneak white knuckled around tons of people who want to kill you.

    Speaking of that, I'll go off on a bit of a tangent and say I'm disappointed (and truthfully not for the first time) that a game that really tries to be realistic and suck you in has tons of people just walking around doing nothing but apparently looking for you without any good reason. The zombies make sense I guess, I wouldn't think they would have daily objectives, but truth be told most of your enemies in this game are comprised of humans who just patrol around dumbly with apparently no purpose in life but to kill people who happen to wander around them. They might as well be zombies themselves. I would have loved to catch some people actually doing something, some tense interactions where you had a bit of a stand off or something. Or at least give me a better reason for them wanting to kill me with such zealotry.

    Anyway, the gameplay isn't very exciting. In fact, I found it so dull I simply stopped playing the game for a long period of time. Eventually I came back and was drawn in enough to finish it, but it sure wasn't the thrill of the hunt. It was Joel and Ellie. They're the heart of the game, and they're a glorious heart indeed. Them with what appeared to me to be a technical breakthrough with aspects of graphics was enough to keep me going. But it did feel tedious at times, and truthfully just wasn't much fun.    … Expand

    When exploring there is a chance for short conversations between characters to take place which are interesting and at times humerous. Stealth, combat and crafting unfortunately don't offer depth.
    What follows from that is -I hate to say it- generic and shallow gameplay with no big variation betweeen segments. As good as the presentation, characters and their relationships are, we are talking about a video game that is lacking in the game aspect. On top of that it's hit or miss with the story itself. At times the game suddenly skips to the next season of the year, which can feel totally out of place and random.

If it were someone else at the hospital, they may chose to sacrifice Ellie just like Marlene, who even watched Ellie grow up and promised her mother to take care of her.(Although it wasn't easy for her) However, it happens to be Joel who escorted Ellie there. Because of what he had lost 20 years ago and what he had been through with Ellie, he chose to save her the moment knowing she would die, without hesitation. Joel is not a selfless hero, yet a good story doesn't have to end with the salvation of humankind.

    Anyway, this game told us a good story.

    However, the design of some battles is so annoying. I still remember that wall-seeing-through sniper and that after the restaurant, when I was taking out the last hunter in the area by stealth, the game spawned another hunter(along with a few more elsewhere) just on my right side-I think there are better ways to increase the challenge of a battle, instead of forcibly adding enemies.    … Expand

    In terms of the story and the characters, The Last of Us does a really good job. The story is generic, one we've seen both before and after this game came out, however, even tho it's full of tropes and cliches, it's very well told. Naughty Dog may not be the masters of originality, but they certainly know how to take already existing concepts and execute them very competently, for the most part.

    What makes it all work are the characters, how they interact with one another, the conversations they have, etc. They feel real, they feel human and you can connect with them. The highlight of the game for me is the ending tho, it's very grey, and left with really bittersweet feelings and I love it for that, it's the reason I ultimately ended up coming out of the narrative with a positive vibe. After finishing it, I didn't feel like there needed to be a sequel.

    What I really like about the tone, is that even tho humanity has gone to sh*t, nothing feels overly dark for the sake it. It's never oppressively bleak, its moments of conflict are contrasted with characters and conversations that make you smile even if for just a little bit, which reminds you that not all of humanity is terrible. Showcasing both sides of the coin was smart and kept it feeling real.

    However, that doesn't mean I loved everything about the narrative, as I thought its structure was very repetitive. The events that happen within that structure are fine, and they develop the characters well, but everything in the game revolves around going to places and then something going wrong over and over again. It makes the story feel like it's always stuck in this one place without making any forward progress or gaining momentum, even tho we're always getting closer to the finish line. So by the time I got to the end, it was almost like the ending just snuck up on me and it made it feel like the game had gone on for way longer than it actually had and like the narrative was padded out.

    BUT that's all in terms of the story, in terms of gameplay is where things get tricky.

    These "narrative-driven games" are something that I may enjoy in the moment, but the fact that the story is what ultimately carries the experience means that The Last of Us and games like it, have very little lasting value and replay value for me. Once I know the story, I have no reason to go back to it until I've forgotten enough about it. Because while the gameplay is competent enough for it not to be anything bad, it's far from being great.

    The shooting mechanics, the upgrade system, the stealth, the enemy design, the "puzzles" the melee, these are all things that have been done before and after and done better. None of them are done badly, (Except for the puzzles, which are really mindless and boring; it's always a matter of taking a thing and then putting it somewhere else again and again), and the mix of these elements is certainly fun to play around with for the duration of the game, but once I've seen what they're all about and tested their limits, that's it, there's nothing to keep me playing. It's all perfectly functional, but mechanically basic.

    I do like the situations the game creates with these elements, that it encourages me to manage resources, use as little ammo as possible and that challenges give me the freedom to resolve them in various different ways but in the end, they always end up feeling very similar to one another, especially because the enemy variety is lacking, the AI is exploitable, the exciting set-pieces are few and far between, and many of them can be resolved by using similar strategies.

    Not to mention that the game has tons of 7th Gen tropes that I simply cannot stand; slow walking segments, puzzles so basic that they just become pace-breakers the second time through, cutscenes that I may or may not be able to skip, slow movement, etc. These are all things that kill replayability for me.

    I see the heart and polish put into the game, I can see the love of the developers and the details they put into each and every collectible and gorgeous environment. That's something to be appreciated, however, at the end of the day, while the game can create many moments of great tension and excitement the first time through, I can't really say I like playing The Last of Us as a game in the long run.

    In spite of how well crafted and confident it is, I don't see myself playing it again, because it's a great experience, but an average game.    … Expand

The story line is good and well worth a play through, multiplayer mode can be fun but it's never going to keep you coming back for more than a few days. Overall it's worth a look in.

    It's strange to write a discreet review of a universally recognized masterpiece, but somehow it turns out that way. Perhaps the game is just a product of it's time, and if I played it earlier, I would also get incredible pleasure.

    For now, I couldn't really get into this game as much as I wanted to. The plot is good, but not as brilliant as it seemed. For 80% of the game story doesn't move practically at all.
    There are only some restrained dialogues of the main characters and attempts to do something, failures on the way, an alternative plan, another failure on the way, another alternative plan, and so on. I found myself getting bored of repeated, similar encounters.
    Yes, closer to the final there was more dynamics, everything began to happen quickly and interestingly, but if the game was made half as small, it would only benefit from saturation and peppy, unobtrusive action.

    Of course, we would lose some of the beautiful, skillfully crafted environments. It feels like the developers has put a lot of effort and heart in the creation of this world. But alas, when the locations are beautiful, but the same thing happens in them for the tenth time, these segments leave a disappointing rather than admiring impression.

    Still, overall a nice and worth a try game.    … Expand

    Une bonne remastérisation (quel affreux barbarisme franglais) d’un jeu de zombis surprenant, surtout venant de la part du développeur des Uncharted, des jeux légers et un peu idiots… sur les bords. On retrouve donc la noirceur (et l’ultra violence) du jeu original mais en 1080p et 60 im/s ! de même que quelques effets à la hausse et de meilleurs textures, assurément.

    Néanmoins, ce n’est pas non plus le jour et la nuit lorsqu’on ressort du placard la mouture PS3 : le jeu était déjà en effet déjà très beau et très soigné ! En outre, on constate dans le remaster des ralentissements ici et là, surtout dans une zone en particulier, vers la fin du jeu. Cela reste du bon travail tout de même, d’autant que le (dispensable) DLC ‘Left Behind’ est inclus et bien entendu remastérisé lui aussi.

    On retrouve également une excellent traitement sonore, une excellente VF mais aussi les infâmes QTE et une interface toujours perfectible… Ce ‘Last of Us’ reste évidemment plus agréable dans cette version et encore plus percutant que jadis, malgré encore trop de séquences scriptées à la Uncharted (dur d’abandonner les mauvaises habitudes chez Naughty Dog…). Mais vu le résultat sur une PS4 de base, on aurait tort de faire la fine bouche !    … Expand

    I have a lot of respect for the story being told but I feel like the gameplay is only halfway there , This is a game I would recommend everybody to play once but it's not really that good to replay, and I know it I have played it for the third time

    I've never seen a world so beautifully destroyed. During the game we will be accompanied by incomparable music. It is visible that over characters long worked. They do not seem "cardboard" and empty. I believe Joel, I feel for Ellie. Like would simple the plot about how as two try to find answers and survive in a new world, but this the simplicity is full depth.

    You might wonder, " If you liked it, why only 7?" It's all about the combat component of this game. Any fighting skirmish is like a puzzle. You listen to enemies, study their movement, find a pattern and quietly kill. The main problem is that each battle scene is similar to the previous one, only the locations change. After 3-4 hours it gets boring. You will have to take breaks, otherwise because of the constant boredom you throw the game.

    Many may say that it is possible to arrange a shoot. The gameplay is not meant to be that you took an active plot. Ammunition is sorely lacking.    … Expand

    A fun game, but the game itself feels slow. The story isn’t amazing, the game play isn’t amazing, but they are all good and fun. I like it. This is a good game, and should be played by PlayStation players.

    I'm going to be honest this game is good but not a full 10 out of 10 not only did naughty dog mess up with the enemy AI they did what they always do repeat the same thing over and over again, the game is so linear and you are doing the same thing over and over again until you go from point a to b. They do try and change it up by changing the map settings where you stealth but that is it.I'm going to be honest this game is good but not a full 10 out of 10 not only did naughty dog mess up with the enemy AI they did what they always do repeat the same thing over and over again, the game is so linear and you are doing the same thing over and over again until you go from point a to b. They do try and change it up by changing the map settings where you stealth but that is it. but that's mainly the only problem with the game the AI and the fact the levels feel repetitive even when you're travelling the you're doing the same thing. The story is fine it's been done before the characters are interesting and what shine through this game so thats a plus some moments in the game are crazy dissapointed there isn't a variety of zombies or whatever you want to call them the clickers were a good idea but thats it nothing else really shined out of the game but the crafting system the variety of weapons the fact that earlier in the game you were given more freedom on how to approach things the game is fine the stealth aspects are great the gameplay is great even though in every level you do samething there are great memorable moments playing the game and some good levels it's an ok game but really overrated mainly because that happens with exclusives they get overrated… Expand

    Un bel gioco ma non il capolavoro per cui viene spacciato . Alla fine ha un gamelay sufficiente e una trama mediocre raccontata in modo eccelso . Sicuramente il gioco più sopravvalutato della storia , per adesso

    A post-apocalyptic road trip that offers a fantastic, riveting experience, where destruction and beauty, and hope and despair, get entwined in a way that’s nothing short of genius, The Last of Us is so good that its somewhat repetitive, and occasionally dull gameplay isn’t enough to rob it of its rightful place amongst the video game greats. Therefore, if looking for an unforgettable action-adventure, with strong cinematic sensibilities, and a heavy emphasis in adult, character-driven storytelling, look no further than Naughty Dog’s classic, especially now that the remastered version has made the original even more stunning.

    Visual improvements and three included DLCs don’t justify buying this game again, but if you haven’t played it on PS3 yet, you’re in for long hours of valuable entertainment. [Sept 2014, p.59]

    One of the best titles of the previous generation is now available in all the next-gen glory and also with all the DLCs. Take it or leave it. [Issue#245]
