    Higher frame rate and resolution is great like everyone says. They also got rid of the grain filter and replaced it with genuine texture. The motion blur caused by moving the camera around is also gone. Same game but cleaner and smoother. Any hardcore gamer should be visually literate or at the very least competent enough to appreciate this remake as the work of art tha it is.

    This is the greatest game I have ever played. Amazing story, controls, combat is perfect in every way. Graphics / Visuals are sensational!! Smooth and the fist fight scenes are amazing and really get your blood pumping!! Can't really fault it. I played it twice as I wanted to experience it again.

The heartbreaking story between Joel and Ellie and all the other small stories that appear and disappear are just impossible to forget. The last of us is one of those few games that leave you thinking about the decisions that the characters made. After I finished it for the first time, I must say I had a hard time trying to sleep, just thinking those "what if" infinite possibilities. The Last of Us isn't a good, fun game, it's a masterpiece that will touch even the toughest souls in this world.… Expand

    I can't remember the last time I cared so much about the characters in a game, the story is masterly told in such a way that you feel genuinely attached to the people in it, which is extremely rare for me. If this game doesn't give you feels you may be dead inside and want to get that checked out.

    Aesthetically it looks pretty great, especially the character models which are fantastic.

    Aesthetically it looks pretty great, especially the character models which are fantastic. It performs well enough at 60fps most of the time, although it takes a **** whenever you're near water for some reason, but on the whole it's fine. The voice work is top notch and really helps push the story, Ellie is pretty hilarious at times.

    Ignoring the wonderful single player experience the game also boasts a highly enjoyable 4v4 multiplayer mode, which is fully fleshed out with countless maps, weapons and fluff items. The loadout system is very much like CoD where you have a set amount of points to speed to create your own unique build. It's a very slow paced, tactical game mode where stealth is key, I was honestly surprised at how good it was, it's definitely not just tacked on for the sake of it.

    In short, if you own a PS4 you owe it to yourself to play this game as it's very special.    … Expand

The problem I always had with Uncharted are too many shooting segments, there are still here, but they can be solved by stealth, or just sneaked it all the way through, combine it with a solid crafting system to enhance these elements further, finally the 60fps on PS4 and the result is overall a fantastic game. 9/10… Expand

    Okay, I have to admit, this game was one of the reasons that I bought a PS4 after my 360. This is how video games should be, and it's a shame that so few studios can deliver a story like this (other examples for me: Half Life 2, Bioshock). I definitely recommend this game for anyone, and I really hope that ND will keep making many-many games like this for years to come.

    The Last of Us is an Action Adventure Survival Horror game that tells the story of Joel and Ellie.
    The United States has been reclaimed by Mother Nature and a fungus has taken over human brains.
    You spend the game getting over every obstacle the world throws at you.
    The World in the last of us is honestly the most well-crafted game world I’ve ever experienced.
    So is the actual game play and the way you interact with the world.
    Really as a game in general, this is perfection, the new standard.
    The world crumbles and breaks around, there’s constant banter and communication between, Joel, ellie, and the other characters you meet along your journey.
    Every character and dialog is so perfectly written.
    They all have their own personality and flavor to them.
    The constant back and forth with conversation and interactions with the world really brings the game to life in a way I’ve never experienced before.
    It feels so refreshingly organic.
    I can’t imagine being okay with anything less in the future from AAA developers.
    The gameplay is fluent, fun, and addictive.
    Though the last of us does a pretty great job of hiding it, at its heart this is a survival horror game, so as you should expect, there are plenty of stressful situations you’ll find yourself in.
    Lucky for you, the crumbling world is at your disposal to ease your stress a bit.
    There’s Is a crafting system in the game, and I know the word crafting can be overwhelming to many, as it is for me, but the crafting is insanely simple, there are only about 5 or so ingredients scattered around for you to pick up to create health kits, bombs, and weapon mods, and all you have to do to craft is hold x.
    Also scattered around are gears you can use at a tool bench to increase the stats on the weapons you’ll gradually find throughout the game.
    But back to the actual execution.
    You can play the last of us in any way you see fit.
    You can stealth your way through slowly, using your enhanced listening skill to spot enemies locations, and slowly sneak up behind them to take them out, or you can run and gun your way through a section mowing everyone down.
    Stealth is always your better option if you aren’t completely sure of enemy locations, otherwise you can find yourself surrounded by the insanely smart AI.
    Unlike most games, ai doesn’t just stick to a path, if they hear something, they will actively pursue you, if you get in a gun fight, they will try to flank and confuse you to try and get behind you and take you out.
    Luckily for you, you have a beast of a sidekick and ellie to help you out of some pretty close calls.
    Thankfully, encounters with enemies is not constant, you frequently get some much needed downtime to scavenge and let your heart settle back into your chest.
    So while the stress is definitely here in the last of us, it is in short bursts to prevent the game from feeling like a chore or a grind.
    The last of us will really take you everywhere.
    Through buildings, through water, the forest, museums, there’s a great adventure and a beautiful world waiting for you to get lost in and conquer.

    After you are done with the games story, you can restart on a new game + or play it’s online multiplayer where you’re pinned up against hunters or fire flies to either interrogate the opposite team to find their lock box or eliminate the other team completely to win the game
    all 3 modes are equally addictive and work the same as single player
    you start out with your customizable perk load out and you scavenge supplies if you choose to do so to further equip your character
    While I personally thought the story in the last of us got weaker and weaker as the game went on, I still can’t deny the fact that the last of us is gameplay and game design perfection from beginning all the way til the end.
    It doesn’t let up, it doesn’t get lazy.
    I’m not a fan of survival horror games, but the last of us has just become my exception.

There were hardly any glitches, the only ones that I could find were graphical glitches that would not interfere with gameplay, but I had to go under rocks to perform. There was also one invisible wall off the beaten path. This game also comes with all the DLC included. The left behind DLC helped explain what Ellie did before the story of the main game. The online was mostly fun, but the main reason you should buy this game is for the single player. Unless you got The Last Of Us on the PS3, I highly recommend this game.

The writing, acting, graphics, sound, and gameplay all coalesce to create an unparalleled gaming experience, which some would say is even transformative. By successfully inviting players to emotionally invest and care deeply about its characters, their relationships, and their choices, the Last of Us triumphs where many games with stellar production values fall short. As mainly a PC gamer who has thoroughly enjoyed games such as Mass Effect 2, the original Deus Ex, System Shock 2, and Knights of the Old Republic, I have to go back to Thief: The Dark Project, a PC game from 1998, to remember when I cared so deeply about the fate of a game protagonist (Garrett in this case).

    Simply put: If playing an amazing story is of interest to you (and you don't mind a post-apocalyptic/zombie bent), you owe yourself the favor of experiencing this game. You can make the game as easy or challenging as you want from a gameplay perspective.    … Expand

These kind of creative additions to the already loved zombie franchise are what make The Last of Us such an incredible game.
    Along with the amazing creativity comes an amazing game-play. The entire game kept my attention and was really hard to put down due to all of the events that are constantly unraveling. There’s a very comfortable balance of emotionally damaging moments, most of which come from Ellie and Joel’s father-daughter relationship developing and progressing, and action-filled fighting sequences. Speaking of fighting sequences, I loved the parts where you got to fight non-infected people. The amount of thought into each and every character, even the guards or assassins that you only see once before you kill them, is absolutely insane and makes the game one hundred times more addictive. Characters can be tricky to develop correctly, especially in video games, but the creators of The Last of Us nailed each and every character completely.
    Overall, the game-play was amazing and intense with hardly any boring moments and was able to keep me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Not knowing what was going to pop out at me every five seconds was a very fun experience. The story line was impeccable, the graphics were nothing less than exquisite, and the originality was definitely there. I would, without a doubt, rate this game ten zombies out of ten and would encourage anyone who enjoys killing things and being emotionally traumatized, in a good way of course, to play this game.    … Expand

    I wasn't really interested in The Last of Us when it was released -I had never played a Naughty Dog game at the time- but I gave it a try and became my favorite PS3 exclusive. I played both the PS3 and PS4 versions but the latter is clearly superior with its glorious 1080p and 60 FPS and all DLCs included.

I played both the PS3 and PS4 versions but the latter is clearly superior with its glorious 1080p and 60 FPS and all DLCs included.

    I was invested in the story and Joel since the very beginning of the game and I really like both him and Ellie as characters. He is probably my favorite protagonist from any PlayStation exclusive. The narrative can be based on a cliche but the way Joel's father-daughter relationship with Ellie improves throughout the story is great. The cast is outstanding and at first I didn't even notice that Nolan North was in this.

    The gameplay is very good and I like the action or stealth approaches, the weapons and character upgrades and the real-time crafting system. I don't consider it a full survival horror game but some encounters can get really tense, specially on higher difficulties. The scarcity of ammo and resources on survivor or grounded mode forces you to approach most encounters with stealth and it's quite satisfying to choke every enemy one by one. However, shooting everybody with fully-upgraded weapons on NG+ is really fun. I noticed that some sections are so heavily scripted that you can sneak through everyone without killing them. The replayability is great thanks to the upgrades and the New Game+ and I ended up having nine playthroughs.

    It's a linear game but the scenarios in general are bigger than the ones in the first three Uncharted titles and encourages exploration to loot resources and ammo. I like reading some of the notes left by other survivors, particularly the story about Ish in the sewers.

    The visuals are amazing and it's one of the most realistic-looking games on PS3. Most scenarios are marvelous and the character models, lightning, attention to detail and motion capture are excellent. The tense atmosphere of the encounters with infected is well done, specially the ones at the University and the Underground Tunnel. The soundtrack is also amazing and it's easily one of the best on the console. I also like the fact that the Cordyceps infection is actually based on a real fungus that affects insects. The regular infected are generic but the creepy and unique clickers stole the show.

    The game's major flaw is by far the human enemies' A.I., which is really dumb. The infected are fine but the humans are beyond stupid. They seem to have a reduced field of view and won't hear when somebody is being choked to death behind them. Your companion can be loud and run right into the enemies and they won't react, but that would have made the game a lot harder. Also, the "puzzles" are way too easy and repetitive.

    I don't tend to play multiplayer modes but this one was surprisingly good. It's not purely focused on shooting like crazy and the matches consist of being stealthy and looting resources in order to craft items, buy upgrades and keep your clan healthy. I really enjoyed it and played way more than I could have expected. However, sometimes the matchmaking isn't fair and you end up against experienced players.

    The Left Behind DLC is okay but it's too short and one third of its duration are cutscenes. The sections in which you can force encounters between human enemies and infected are the best part of the DLC and is something that the base game should have had. It's not worth $10 on PS Store.

    The Last of Us is my favorite PS3 exclusive and was the best way to say goodbye to the console before the release of the PlayStation 4. So far, it has the best narrative in any Naughty Dog game, the graphics are top notch and the gameplay is great. I highly recommend it, preferably on PS4.    … Expand

I would love to describe it, but I can't... You have to scavenge, survive and live through it on your own... Only then, you can see the unbelievable level of accomplishment this game has achieved. The only thing I would change, would be the difficulty. I have finished the game on the maximum difficulty(grounded), and I believe this should be the only option. If you are reading this before playing it, trust me and do yourself a favour, play it on GROUNDED level. Every arrow, every bullet and other junk, will become the greatest treasure and asset of your playstyle and tactic. It will make it as realistic as possible, you will fear every dark place, noise and every enemy can be your last encounter if handled improperly. I have watched the "making of" afterwards, and seeing some of the gameplay in it, made me realised, how much of the real experience people are missing by choosing the easier options... Developers made it really fair, with a little thinking and few tries, you can make it, overcome the impossible. It's about the survival in a post-apocalyptic world where death awaits behind every corner, don't make a point and click game for kids out of it... Anyways, after almost 28 hours of the emotional roller-coaster, it is so hard to shake it off... The ending was great, I am fully satisfied with it. I hated every dark and scary part of the game, I felt terrible and my heart was going nuts but... I miss Ellie and Joel... we have been through so much... It is so hard to forget... I really do miss them, and I think about going back into this dark and hostile world, just to be with them a little longer...… Expand

    The Last of Us is one of the best games of all time.

    An absolutely incredible experience that will never leave you. Ellie may be the best character in the history of video games. Best of all, this version includes all of the DLC on the disc. Left behind is brilliant, and the multiplayer is really addictive. Naughty dog, please give us a sequel!

    This game is near perfection, and I don't know why people are always hating on the gameplay, it's survival not Call of Duty, ammo is going to be scarce! Visuals are still amazing as ever, but better of course, its also much easier to play on the ps4 controller. Basically, if Naughty Dog made it then it's worth buying.

    I guess it's worth addressing the elephant in the room for a second: "The Last of Us" is the first post-"Crash Bandicoot" Naughty Dog game that I've played, and given that I played and beat the original "Crash Bandicoot" trilogy only as part of the Vicarious Visions "N-Sane Trilogy" remakes (instead of their original versions), this is essentially the first game fully developed by NaughtyI guess it's worth addressing the elephant in the room for a second: "The Last of Us" is the first post-"Crash Bandicoot" Naughty Dog game that I've played, and given that I played and beat the original "Crash Bandicoot" trilogy only as part of the Vicarious Visions "N-Sane Trilogy" remakes (instead of their original versions), this is essentially the first game fully developed by Naughty Dog that I have played and beaten. And admittedly, I approached this one with some very real caution: yes, the game received glowing reviews and many Game of the Year awards back in 2013, but so too did "Grand Theft Auto V," a game I somewhat notoriously (or maybe I just think that) rated a 7 out of 10 in my review, contrary to the 9 and 10 scores that everyone was handing out to it left and right. Even if "The Last of Us" was a completely different game, it became clear as soon as I handed that score to "Grand Theft Auto V" that even one of the most beloved and popular games of all-time didn't do it for me, so I actually worried that "The Last of Us" would suffer the same fate. Fortunately, dear readers, it didn't. In fact, it ended up becoming one of my personal favorite games.
    "The Last of Us" is a wonder to behold in basically every facet: the story is moving and emotional, is excellent in its handling of themes like survival, family, togetherness, and even subtle themes of gender roles and sexuality. Furthermore, considering that I'm not very good at crying, the fact that this game got me pretty damn close to crying at several points is really something. The characters are also impeccably written (specifically Ellie, who is the true highlight of the game), and the relationship between Joel and Ellie is fantastic, as it's the perfect example of true, genuine, legitimately character growth in a story. Each character, even down to the secondary ones, are also further brought to life by an array of excellent performances from its very talented cast, and I find the moral ambiguity and flawed nature of the characters to be extremely fascinating, as it brings an air of realness to them. The game's post-apocalyptic world is brilliantly designed and believably lonely, able to mask the fact that it is so linear by still giving you plenty of areas to explore, and the graphics are absolutely breathtaking (the added PS4 facelift only helps to bring them out further). I also love the game's use of music and sound, and I find that the often lighter, more haunting nature of the sound design only helps add to the loneliness that the world tries to create. Also, while I initially worried going into the game that the gameplay would suffer as a result of the emphasis on story, I'm happy to report that I was very wrong: the gameplay is fantastic. The game's crafting system adds an interesting air of strategy to the game and keeps you on your toes, the combat is engrossing and exciting, and the stealth sections are also extremely satisfying. Oh, and getting to play the game at 60 frames per second thanks to this remaster only helps make for a more smooth gameplay experience.
    If there is one EXTREMELY minor flaw I can mention about the game, it's that the enemy AI can be just a tad bit wonky during stealth sections, but said sections are so tensing and edge-of-your-seat thrilling that it's honestly easy to look past.
    This is it: this really is one of the finest video games ever made. I was skeptical at first, but "The Last of Us" hooked me in right from the jump and never let me go. If you haven't gotten a chance to play this masterpiece yet...stop whatever you're doing and fix that!

It is full of moments in gameplay and cut scenes that I will always remember and always resonate with me, wether it be moments of extreme sorrow, horror, joy, tension, or anger. this one of the most well crafted narratives ever made, if not the most. what really brings this game home for me though is how its gameplay is equally enthralling, always tense and surprisingly engaging and deeper than the surface would suggest, I couldn't find a single flaw in the game, perhaps for a few nitpicks with how certain gameplay moments such as using a plank to bring Elli across water gets used a few times but that's really reaching.

I love Joel, I love how he relates to Ellie, I think of Ellie as my own, no game has ever had this effect on me before and I doubt any will since. From the opening scenes to the perfect final words, The Last of Us is a masterpiece and will go down in history as one of the best stories ever told. Finally got into the multiplayer, which I normally steer well clear of. This time, from someone who predominantly plays solo games, multiplayer is awesome and meaning full with a really simple but well executed story and excellent, different game types.

    the intro would obviously shatter anyone's hearts -it just happened to have double effect on me since i'm a father to a single daughter. and although nothing really groundbreaking happened until the very ending, i think we all could understand what naughty dog was trying to do; with every cutscenes, dialogues, or alternative conversations, we get to know every character a little better.
    and it worked! the "left behind DLC" doesn't even let us play as joel, but we care. we totally care about what happened to ellie at that time, how she got herself into this mess, etc.

    the multiplayer aren't anywhere as good as the single player campaign, but i found myself a couple of time craving to "down" some opponents on TLoU:R's MP. although the gameplay is probably not that good, finding matches took forever, and the matches itself could get a little frustrating for some rookies, but that polished feel good mechanics from the single player is still here. it's still a decent game to play -hell, it's arguably better than some multiplayer-focused games out there.

    CONCLUSION: although naughty dog doesn't really offer anything new with TLoU:R, but they really polished some true and tried stuff for this game, and took it even higher a couple of notches.

I actually felt as if I had become Joel, trekking through this deadly, near hopeless world, struggling to survive for just one more day. On occasion, this level of immersion is broken, but for the most part, I truly felt like I had stepped into the shoes of the protagonist. His emotions became mine- the frustration, the elation, the horror, the desperation... and the slow, creeping pall of hopelessness in this dark, damaged earth.

    If you are prone to night terrors or depression, do NOT play this game, because it will alternately terrify you and make you despair for the plight of this lost world. However, if you can handle the mature subjects of the tale, you are in for a real treat, and perhaps the greatest game to ever be produced in the genre of survival horror.

    Yes, this game is scary, to a level I haven’t felt since the original Silent Hill on PS1. I generally felt powerless in this world and some of the enemies (primarily Clickers and Runners) make my stomach tighten with dread. If you're super hardcore, and you want a REALLY scary experience, I recommend you play on Hard difficulty for your first play-through, because the number of supplies (ammo, med kits, shivs, bombs, etc.) that are available on the Normal difficulty level are far too abundant for players who want a supreme challenge.

    On the subject of crafting, this is a component of the game that is easy to learn, and fun to engage in. It further puts you into the mindset of Joel, a man desperate for survival, who has learned to salvage at all available opportunities. Slowly tuning up my weapons was also a lot of fun, though Joel is but a pale imitator compared to his rival protagonists (Nathan Drake, Marcus Fenix, etc.) in other games (but this is a good thing, for it feels realistic, and fits with the tone of the piece). Joel's wobbly aim, perpetual shortage of ammo, and rather sluggish speed make him feel like a real, middle-aged guy who has learned to survive in a dangerous world, not some superhuman who handles everything with grace.

    The stealth aspect is also handled brilliantly, and engaging in it is extremely satisfying. This stealth system is a perfect evolution of that which was established in the Metal Gear Solid series (particularly #2), utilizing a great visual cone and audio circumference for your enemies, which must be studied for vulnerabilities and exploited at every possible opportunity. Determining how to approach each new challenge (lots of trial and error will be involved), and how to successfully clear an area of enemies (generally without being detected, as ammo and health are so limited) is really fun. These challenges become "3D puzzles" in a way, as you must use your noggin to break down enemy patterns and AI reactions, with the added tension of knowing that it only takes one slip-up to result in failure - and these enemies really do make you feel the fear.

    Visually speaking, this game is remarkable, even by next gen standards. The improved graphics of the Remastered edition are immediately apparent to those who of us who played The Last of Us on PS3. Resolutions are incredibly detailed, but even more effective is the silky smooth frame rate. The attention to detail is simply staggering, and it all comes together to further enhance the emotional impact of this unforgettable experience. Gameplay is always more important than graphics in my book, but it certainly helps convey the emotions of the characters when everything looks this darned good.

    The Last of Us is like nothing else. It is, quite frankly, an exhausting experience, one that left my mind reeling with the consequences of my fascinating journey, and the unbreakable bonds I had formed with Ellie and Joel - two fictitious characters who seem unshakably real. I just can’t forget about them, and I can’t forget about what we’ve been through together. It’s not just their story, it’s OUR story. We are family, struggling to survive in a dangerous world. We are the last of us.    … Expand

    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.
