    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Brought this because of the hype, but I am disappointed. Game play is incredibly linear. It mainly consists of go here, kill everybody/all the monsters in the area, repeat. The story/character
    development so far has been the biggest disappointment, the story basically being the young girl may be the key to a cure, take her to someone who can help develop a cure. That's not a plot we've seen in a thousand movies/games before, is it now? That's it. Characters? He's grumpy, she's mouthy. That's about all you can say about them.

    It basically plays like a telltale walking dead game, but with less choice/character development/story, much better graphics and annoying combat sections.

    Also, why kill all the humans you meet, even the ones who never act aggressively towards you until they catch you sneaking around, trying to kill them? One group are in a hotel, clearing out monsters. Are they good or bad? Who knows, just wipe them out. Often, just sneaking through to the exit isn't an option.

    I'll probably put it on easy and play to the end, but I'm not impressed so far.

    the game is full of technical issues, broken AI; immersion-breaking logic and mechanics, the story is literally every zombie movie ever, nothing really very original.
    The sets designs are amazingly detailed and the models look real good, the acting is great, but im playing a game not watching a movie.
    The sequel is much much better.

    I cannot understand how this game became GOTY. It's a good game, or at least decent. Graphics, sounds, narrative, customization etc is quite good, but it has so much potential wasted. And why make a grumpy main character? Finding a pallet for Ellie about 5 times is pretty repetetive. To see Metro Last Light and Black Flag not winning over this is pretty sad, even Bioshock Infinite, but II cannot understand how this game became GOTY. It's a good game, or at least decent.

    The good:
    Great third person shooter game. Inventory management. Awesome graphics. Here the Let behind DLC is included. It has Multiplayer.
    The bad: I did see The Road (Dimension Films, 2009) in the cinema, this game takes a lot of inspiration from that movie, not to say that it traces certain parts. Lots of motion blur that hides background errors but focuses the player's attention

    The bad:
    I did see The Road (Dimension Films, 2009) in the cinema, this game takes a lot of inspiration from that movie, not to say that it traces certain parts. Lots of motion blur that hides background errors but focuses the player's attention on the foreground and faces. After passing the impact of the graphics, after 30 minutes the game becomes repetitive and you have to constantly search for the bandages. Enemy AI is painful, enemies are bullet sponges. Ellie's AI is painful and in shootings she got stuck in walls or projections, the "smart idea" to justify this was: "she's invisible to enemies" (face-palm) when in Resident Evil 4 we see that Ashlie is just as useless in AI if she can be injured and the game is even over if she dies ...

    What Meh:
    It is a game besides that it traces to the Movie The Road is good but not the masterpiece that everyone says. You ask many about parts that you liked about the game and the unanimous answer is the giraffe, because that is what the press showed them, after that little or nothing they know later and at least here is the Let Behind DLC where you can see it Ellie's preferences long before "it became fashionable to be on the side of political correctness and gender diversity." There are people who talk about this game as a masterpiece ... the game is good, so first buy the game and finish it and you will see that it is not a masterpiece at all, it is a good game nothing more.

    This multiplayer mode is the main reason it was dropped down a few points.

    The graphics were amazing, they held up decently. The gameplay is janky, fine-tuned, but I think the result was honestly below average gunplay and melee combat that uses its flaws to create the illusion of difficulty.

It is mostly annoyed when you try to stealth a clicker. The combats are tiring but without much fun, just the same well polished prototype (even not that well) all along the game. It really upset me that I have to be interrupted by such dull fights when enjoying the story.

    TLOU remembers me what i like the most in a video game, but not because it is good on doing it, but because it refuses to do so. If you check my top rated games, all of them have something in common with each other: They do things in a way only video games can lead to, they narratives and mechanics can only work if on a video game.
    TLOU sadly is not one of them, its narrative is shallow

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Только что посмотрел Игрофильм на волне хайпа по второй части. И не понимаю, откуда тут 9 из 10. С самого начала и на протяжении всей игры Джоэл, его подружка, имя которой я уже забыл, и Элли убивают тупых безымянных компьютерных болванчиков. Где тут 9 из 10? Не понятно. У меня не было абсолютно никакого сопереживания главным героям, потому что я не чувствовал никакой реальной угрозы. Ну, просто какие-то боты их атакуют, вообще на них плевать, так же, как и на Джоэла. Да, мне плевать на него и мне не жалко, что его убили во второй части. С самого начала и до конца. В начале они убили какого-то Роберта. Что за роберт? Не понятно, сценаристы говорят "а, плевать чо за Роберт. Вот он должен нашим "героям" пушки, поэтому он достоин смерти". Во-первых, мне плевать на этого Роберта, во-вторых, кто он такой? Очередной бот. В-третьих, Джоэл и его подружка убили его, как сходили посрать. И После убийства Джоэл такой спокойно говорит "что будем делать дальше?", ну, реально, как-будто только что из толчка вышел. Человека убил.
    Каннибалы-педофилы вообще притянутая за уши херня. Всю игру "герои" убивали безымянных картонных болванчиков, а потом нарисовались какие-то каннибалы. Как-будто сценаристы сказали друг другу "Нам нужен напряжённый финал, о давайте каннибалов нарисуем из воздуха... ага, а еще пусть они будут педофилами. Да, давай." И нюхнули очередную порцию коки. Бред. Вообще никаких эмоций не вызвали эти каннибалы.
    И Третий пункт - это телепортирующаяся глаза Цикад, женщина с ранением в живот, которая магическим образом оказалась в больнцие раньше, наших героев. Бред.
    Ну, про бредовый выбор Джоэла спасти Элли я даже писать не буду. В общем, игра на 6 из 10 максимум, и то не знаю, зачем я балл накинул, и не поставил 5 из 10, как совершенно средней, проходной игре.

    Game is very overrated and doesn’t look that good for a remaster. It’s filled with cliches and it’s a pretty average zombie story. Gameplay is fun but it’s very glitchy and the puzzles consist of looking for a ladder. Would be rated higher if wasn’t so overhyped because it can be fun at times.

Though this design may be thematically appropriate to the story, this is a video game and the gameplay leaves a lot to be desired.

    FOR RUSSIAN SPEAKING PLAYERS!

    Как для любого обладателя 4 плойки, эта игра является одним из мастхевов, которые все называют шедевром индустрии. Шедевра я не увидел.
    Плюсы:
    1. Главные герои. Химия Элли и Джоэла, как и они сами, очень интересны и увлекательны в игре, отлично раскрываясь по ходу прохождения.
    2. Дизайн локаций. Я всегда любил зеленые постапокалипсисы, и первая тлоу не исключение.
    3. Графика. На свое время она была очень хороша, да и сейчас она порой создает фотогеничные пейзажи.
    4. Музыка. Густаво Сантаолалья - гениальный гитарист, его саундтреки это нечто.
    Минусы:
    1. Геймплей. Он ОЧЕНЬ скучный, спустя 2 часа игры я уже зевал и начинал засыпать.
    2. Сюжет. Его везде подают как лучший сюжет десятилетия, но в том же порицаемом контроле он был куда интересней и живей. Достаточно стандартная история родителей и детей.
    3. Второстепенные персонажи. Они все скучные, у них нет искры или харизмы.
    4. Геймдизайн. Его интуитивность - около нулевая.
    5. Стелс. Стелса тут много, а проработан он скучнейшим образом и сам сделан достаточно странно.

    Вердикт - самый переоцененный эксклюзив ПС4.

    The relationship between Joel and Ellie was great, but besides that the narrative was extremely bland with boring side characters besides one pair near the end. It mainly consists of repetitive puzzles and looking at a building in the distance then proceeding to trudge there through a bunch of run of the mill human and zombie encounters then rince and repeat.

    Start the tutorial, 30 minutes in
    Walk again
    Watch another boring cutscene
    Now you can play the game, 45 minutes after starting it up
    Now, just by that, I wouldn't give this game the score that I have given it, if it weren't for the fact that this game is praised as one of if not the best videogame of all time. I get it, the story is great, I get that, but, are the other aspects of the game make it deserve this kind of treatment?
    As mentioned before, the visuals are great. Really represents the tone of the game.
    The gunplay though, feels uninspired. Don't get me wrong, it's good, but nothing new.
    Some mechanics like the ladders and the enhanced "hearing" are good additions to make the game stand out.
    All in all, this game is not bad, but I believe, that it does not deserve all the praise it has gotten.

    The story is definitely worth playing, and the title itself on the list of games is a mustplay. However, I don't think the gameplay is anything special. The system of collecting raw materials and obtaining weapons from them does not appeal to me with its simplicity. The stealth nature of the game seems boring to me.

    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.
