    the last of us is a great game with a good and sweeping plot, with excellent characters and excellent speech so we will remember the imagery for another few good years and the battle system is very good and the music that fits well in a must buy game !!

    One of the best stories you will ever see in a video game. Hands down one of my favorite games of all time. The gameplay is great too. It's the perfect mix of fun and challenging. It is not only great within the survival horror genre, but in gaming as a whole.

    The story is one of the best in the history of gaming. The gameplay is terrific. The only annoying thing is when the enemy who has a gun doesn't drop any loot. If the developers wanted to make every bullet count, at least they could make all the NPC drop one bullet or empty gun.

It's grounded and feels very real with a very human story. Amazing relatable characters with simple motivations. Its an unforgiving world where the line between good and evil is almost non existent . It uses gamepley and the world to explain the story and dig deeper in the lives of the characters. You understand their motivations and sympathize with them. Very well paced with a fantastic narrative. Even in 2020, the game is beautiful with brilliant performances form the actors. It has some of the best facial animations to capture the emotions the characters portray. Just great design and animations.
    Gameplay is its weakest point. Its a third person shooter with simple mechanics. it doesn't bring anything knew but gets the job done. There's a lot of walking around to explore the world and find scraps and tools to improve weaponry. Personally it doesn't bother me but it might come across as obnoxious at times. The puzzle levels are not complex or that interesting, compared to previous Naughty Dog games like the Uncharted series. As a game it feels empty but it knows what it is and keeps its grounded and real. In a way TLOU created a new genre of games. Linear movie games. You are always entertained because the characters are always being explored as well the violent and hostile world. Its a violent game with an unforgettable story. Joel and Ellie will remain some of the best characters ever created. The Last of Us is one hell of a ride. This is a game you can't miss.

    An amazing game compared to the second of the series. The story is what drives the player to continue playing.
    Fun and even scary at times with the zombies running at you. The father daughter relationship is also brilliant and I wish the second game of the series was just as good but it was total g@rbge.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us is a technical achievement in terms of graphics/animation and music/sound. The detail and subtlety in the actions of the characters and the solemn beauty in the post-apocalyptic world are sublime. This is complemented by the richness of the settings from the crunch of the grass to the echoes of hollow buildings and the unpleasant clicks of the Infected. These two elements help to immerse the player into the forlorn world in The Last of Us.

    The gameplay is solid with its satisfying gunplay and close-quarters combat, as well as the various puzzles littered throughout the game, help to keep the experience fresh. The switch to playing as Ellie from Joel further adds to the variety of gameplay.

    The story in The Last of Us has been compared to typical Hollywood post-apocalyptic stories and to a great degree it is, however, it is interesting enough that the stars of the game can carry it to greatness.

    What makes The Last of Us one of the greatest games of our generation is the relationship between Joel and Ellie. Witnessing their dynamic of survival grow to an intimacy reminiscent of father and daughter, speaks volumes of their humanity in a world where that is of scarcity. The interactions with other people along their journey, both the good and the bad, acted as the glue to hold them together and justifies their later actions from their perspective.

    The Last of Us is a timeless classic that teaches of the unbreakable bonds people can form even in the harshest of worlds; it is a cinematic experience that stirs all kinds of emotions in you that you'll fall in love with the journey time and time again.

    To me this game is a 10 solely on the story. You're invested in the main characters do to their building relationship through out with a game ending that will make you question you're own morals. What would you do for the ones you love or yourself, depending on how you look at it?

    I heard from a lot of people how excellent this game was, and it wasn't like I didn't believe them that it would be a good game, but I didn't anticipate it being just as good as it is. I found myself announcing aloud to one one in particular "Damn...This is incredible." about every 2 hours.

    The gameplay is fun; if I had to put a number on it I'd say maybe a 8/10. It's nothing that hasn't been done before to some extent. I feel like its a mixture between the Batman: Arkham and Resident Evil franchises, both excellent games in their own right so I don't make the comparison negatively. The real strength of this game is the character development, story line and world design. All of which are masterful. I've been playing video games for a long time now, and I think the last time I felt so emotionally invested in my characters and their stories was back in 1997 when Final Fantasy 7 dropped. It's been 17 years since I've played something that made me actually feel a real, humanistic connection to the characters.

    I could go on for another 1500 words about why its so great but honestly, if you haven't played this game and you enjoy video games, or even if you don't enjoy them, you need to play this. To me, it almost redefines what a video game can be, and what we can now come to expect or even demand of this medium of art. Simply outstanding. The best game I've EVER played? Maybe not. But it's top 5-10 easily, and was worth the PS4 price of admission alone just to experience it.

    I don't think my girlfriend will be playing her copy of LittleBigPlanet3 any time in the next month or so...

    The Last Of Us Remastered for PS4 is what I expected from Naughty Dog after reading so many great things about the game. I have never played it even though i owned a PS3.

Even though the graphics is great, I can wait what's in store for the sequel. I am sure the graphics will be EVEN better. The game does has some flaw though such as awkward movement of the character. Sometimes they don't seem to move or run smoothly. The graphics in some areas are amazing and in others just so-so. The download content Left Behind has better overall graphics and overall smooth. The game play is what set this game apart with the melee killing of the zombies so good that you want to keep punching. The gores and blood is stunningly details. This game deserved a 9.5 just because I feel that some areas, the character move awkward and the graphics were not up to par. I am sure the sequel will be 2x better. Can't wait. Expand

    Great game! It does give you a sense that the main characters are in survival mode-infected, hunters looking for survivors, limited ammo and resources for crafting, and most especially a suspenseful storyline. The detailed environment adds to it with images that leave you feeling a tiny sense of frustration/shock/horror. Haven't beaten it yet but as you can see or read, it's impressed me.

    Remastered is truely correct, ps3 was the pinnacle and this upgrade is no exception. Only negative no new content specifically for PS4.

    Photo mode is a nice addition but not new content. Graphics were amazing now amazing +

    Having not played The Last of Us on PS3, I had uber high expectations about this game, now that it was on PS4. The game has not disappointed me. The story is great, the graphics are pretty good, the multiplayer is very fun and quite original, and the DLCs are good as well. It was a worthy purchase and this game is fantastic and should be played by anyone with a PS4.

    Honestly, it was quite better than the PS3 version, but despite the Super graphics, i was expecting a new single-player content than the other ones inside disc. The graphics was looking more awesome, the combat effect was more brutal (which i love it), and the story was a challenging journey, between Ellie, Joel, & Riley. Sony games, is now more Hardcore then before.

    Very good game, have a few gripes with some parts of it but on the whole it is great. Especially well done as a remake, still holds up well on ps4. AAA

    This was very good, in fact I did not know how bad the current PS4 offering is until I played this. The fact that this is worth playing in the post-zombie craze era shows how good it is. I subtracted 1 point because this is a remaster that has been sold at the price of a new AAA game. Sadly that is all that you get on the PS4 now: remasters and sequels.

    This was my first experience with this game. I went in with no prior knowledge other than what the back of the box already said, and that the "zombies" were fungal instead of a virus.

    This was my first experience with this game. I went in with no prior knowledge other than what the back of the box already said, and that the "zombies" were fungal instead of a virus.

    The gameplay is very tight, responsive, and tactical. It requires thought and skill to advance through combat scenarios. That being said, there is nothing new or special about it. The puzzles are also fairly repetitive, almost always requiring you to find a floating object or a ladder. Overall, the gameplay is very good and well polished, but nothing special.

    The real lure of this game is the story and the characters. I grew very attached to Joel and Ellie, as should anyone who plays this. The ending was a little weak, but interesting regardless. At least it makes me want to play the sequel.

    I would recommend any gamer who has access to a PS3 or 4 to play this. Just keep your expectations in check. The game was over-hyped in my opinion, although easily one of the best of last generation.

However, considering the game has just released last year and it already looked very stunning and beautiful, even though this one looks even better with the improvement of graphics and gameplay, it is not significant enough. That doesn't really impress me. I also understand Sony want to give a chance to the Xbox 360 players who switch to PlayStation to play this masterpiece . I appreciate it but barely any other content is added besides that Infamous SS camera. Some glitches and bugs still exist in the remastered version, and the AI don't really have much improvement. I was sort of disappointed. Nevertheless, The Last of Us is still one of the best game I have ever played and I enjoy playing it again, but if you own the original PS3 game already, it is rather pointless to buy it again for PS4, but if you have never played it before, you should get this, cuz it is awesome.

    This is a near perfect game. Still as awesome as it was on PS3 but with much improved graphics and 60fps. It has all the things that were right with the original and the DLC. Granted, Left Behind is O.K. At $50 it is still a value. My only real complaint is that one of the PS4's best games is a remake of one from last generation.

    An excellent upgrade to an already excellent game. Even if you've played it on PS3 the game is a substantial improvement on the PS4. The inclusion of the Left Behind DLC along with the multi-player maps makes for an overall improvement, and if you've never played the game before what are you waiting for? Go get it now!

    While it is certainly upsetting when companies re-sell games for easy cash, TLOU sure is a classic that deserves to be played and replayed, and the graphics sure are gorgeous.
    A 95 out of 100 is a bit of a hype, but The Last of Us Remastered earned it.

The melee and the gunplay is excellent. The graphics look so smooth when it is running 60 frames per second. The story is beautiful.

    I thought the game was really good the first time I played it. Then the second time I played, I thought it was a masterpiece. The story becomes more and more beautiful when you play it more. Then the multiplayer is a surprising fun mode. There are three modes. Supply raid, interrogation, and survivors. Overall the game is beautiful and is one of the greatest games ever made. 10/10.

    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.
