    Amazing story and gameplay, awesome game ! It's a mix of horror and narrative story. Also there is an online mode that is really fun and scary at the same time

    This is a phenomenal game with great story, writing and characters. I actually think of The Last of Us as a cinematic and narrative driven survival horror game.

    Uno de los mejores juegos de la historia, game play perfecto, historia perfecta, mecánicas perfectas, el único pero que le pondría es que siento que falta más exploración y no hay humanos vs infectados, aunque en el dlc si hay eso.
    El doblaje de español latino buenísimo

    I don't like Post Apocalyptic Survival games but The Last of Us is something more than that.
    Joel is one of the most complex protagonists I've ever seen, sometimes his actions are villainous and selfish but he's so well written, you can definitely see where he's coming from, his loss impacts the story a lot and you feel his pain throughout the whole game.

    Ellie on the other hand, is the perfect deuteragonist, she is a deep character with a tragic past but she's represented as sweet, happy and quirky, which shows that she is still a kid after all. In terms of gameplay, she never gets in your way and helps in combat as much as she can.

    The story itself is pretty simple on paper but it's very well written, and the pacing is absolutely perfect.

    Now for the negatives, the game is very linear, and the secondary characters are forgettable.
    That being said, despite some minor flaws, I think that this game is absolutely timeless and definitely deserves to be in PlayStation's Hall of Fame.

    An amazing realistic zombie game! An semi-open world game to choose your path and style of gameplay. You can be trigger happy, stealth or just simple dodge the whole fight scenes. There are cases of where you are forced to do one of the styles, but that just adds the action and prevents you from an monotone gameplay.

The perfect balance of scavenging, combat, feeling open world but really linear, stealth and probably a lot of other great things. Just give this game a chance.

Most people go on and on about the story and how touching it was, how much they felt, and the story is actually the weakest part of the game. TLoU tells the story of a cliche single father whose daughter predictably dies inside of ten minutes without the player really knowing either of them, and we're supposed to care because she was his daughter. He then finds a replacement daughter 20 years later and that's about it. Naughty Dog themselves even said the entire game was built around Joel and Ellie's father/daughter relationship. And that was a stupid decision.

    The game, at certain points, suggests two VASTLY MORE INTERESTING stories, Joel's life in the post apocalypse as a smuggler, and his adventures with his brother shortly after the outbreak. Instead we get a typical "Father tries to connect with his step daughter on a road trip" Hollywood story, told in a kind of dark setting. The few times we actually do something other than be cliche are far apart and don't last long. The ending is also very predictable and didn't surprise me in the slightest.

    Where the game really shines is in combat. Shooting things is good, the stealth is difficult but rewarding (and infuriating, but we'll get to that), overall it flows very well. The mixed gameplay is fun to mess around with, and I'm a total sucker for exploration that gives me upgrades, and crafting. There's enough variety for each player to make their own style in combat. Personally, I got addicted to throwing smoke bombs after kiting enemies into one area and then molotoving them and shotgunning the stragglers.

    There are faults in the system, however. There are enemies that kill you instantly that are very difficult to distinguish from a distance from ... literally any other enemy. You have to either stealth kill these guys, or spend quite a few bullets (in the early game) to take them out. This leads to incredibly frustrating areas where two or more are in close proximity, and since they use sound instead of sight, sneaking up on two in the same room is nigh impossible without serious shenanigans. The game also drops the "ammo is scarce! Use it wisely!" around the middle of the game unless you're playing on one of the much harder difficulties. Naughty Dog, again, have explicitly stated that TLoU uses some kind of ammo counter, and while you won't get every shot back after a fight, the enemies are programmed to drop enough for survival in the next area, which is generally more than enough. I cleared the game my first time through with more handgun rounds than I could use in a single fight. They also obnoxiously lock simple minded "skills" behind high walls. One of the most useful skills you can purchase allows you to save yourself if grabbed by a zombie by stabbing them. I don't know about you, but I don't need training on how to shove a sharp object into something that's trying to strangle me. It seems quite obvious really, and only serves to hide the more useful ability behind it on the upgrade tree.

    Despite those few flaws, the game is quite enjoyable. The story is fun enough the first time through, if predictable, and the voice acting really makes the characters pop. The graphics are good, though I wish we could have seen more of cities coated in mushrooms growing everywhere, give us the sense that the fungus was taking over. But most importantly, shooting guys is fun. Sneaking up on them is challenging but fun. Those are the most important things. The game is FUN to play. Too many people get hung up on the story and completely miss that the controls are smooth easy to understand, combat is challenging but rewarding, and the systems incorporated in the game make exploration worth doing. If there's one thing I hope for in The Last of Us 2 I hope they make the environments bigger and give us more things to craft and upgrade. But, maybe make the skill upgrades something that would need upgraded instead of simple self defense that a child could do.    … Expand

I think ND's A Thief's End did a much better job in this so I know they are capable of it. It's funny how people get swept up emotionally in the story to such an extent that they label the game "Greatest Game Ever! (sniffle)" . It's like, buck up buckaroo. Don't let your emotions cloud your judgement and try to be objective. Anywho, good game and worth playing but slightly overrated IMO.

Although the 1080p isn't a huge change (even if it can be more of an improvement when you are looking at things in the distance), 60 fps are much appreciated. The game feels a lot smoother, it helps for making fast moves and it helps the overall expeience of multiplayer.
    Photo Mode is a cool addition, though in terms of frames and filters it's a bit scarce. It's not like you will be using it a lot in your first playthrough, but I'm sure fans will have a good time trying to capture the game's beauty.
    In terms of content, TLOU Remastered packs everything except the additional weapons and hats, which is a frustration for anyone who bought any of them and now moved on to the PS4 version. Considering it contains the excellent "Left Behind" DLC, and some cool maps, TLOU Remastered (I think) completely justifies it's price tag.
    There's also the Grounded doccumentary and commentary form Neil Druckmann, Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson for all the cinematics (though that doesn't include Left Behind, for some odd reason).
    All in all TLOU Remastered is the definitive version of The Last of Us, though I wouldn't recommend it to players who have already experience the PS3 version. But if you're a newcomer, there's absolutely no reason not to play this game.

While it's predictable the characters are likable but Joel AKA you makes a scripted selfish choice that makes him come off as a giant **** a choice that could make the human race be completely wiped out and breaking a friend's dying wish. Ellie is extremely likable and actually makes me wish she deserved better someone then Joel. I don't want be a perfect character, however I don't want to be a selfish douche who makes a selfish choice that could endanger all of humanity. OVERALL: This game should be a movie, not a game.

Marvel as a few tiny details that you wouldn't notice at all unless somebody told you it was upgraded. Relive the Masterpiece that won more Game Of The Year Awards than Super Mario Galaxy and Ocarina Of Time combined by having none of that silly gameplay or imagination and more story about dirty depressed people getting their lives F***ed up. Speaking of Ocarina of Time, if you thought the Water temple from Ocarina Of Time was a mindf**k, prepare for the mind bending puzzles in The Last Of Us, such as moving that same ladder to the same spot in the same way over and over again. Good game design? Who needs it when you can get perfect 10s by having a story that is the video game equivalent of Oscarbait? Gaze in absolute awe as you watch the same stealth takedown a million times, because with the oil tanker full of money that Sony gave Naughty Dog to make this game, they couldn't spring for more than one stealth kill animation. They say that games are getting dumbed down for the casual gamers nowadays, but I strongly disagree. At one point in this game, I only had like 30 bullets. If that's not what you call hardcore survival gaming, then I don't know what is. People also say that its just "Another zombie game" which is ridiculous because they're not zombies. Its clearly explained that they are a fungal spore, and the fact that they all act exactly like zombies is not important. Why have interesting level design when you can shepherd the player along linear corridors because you wouldn't want them to get lost on their way to the next cut scene, and have all the fights take place in arenas made of conveniently placed boxes and shipping containers like the new Metal Gear Solid game if Hideo Kojima was on Ambien for the entire development process. Clunky shooting gameplay? In a zombie game? Who cares, it adds tension, I mean Resident Evil does it, right? Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying The Last Of Us is comparable to Resident Evil, The Last Of US has nowhere near achieved the legacy of Resident Evil, mostly because it hasn't spawned sequel after quality degrading sequel... Yet anyway... Your companion AI often breaks immersion by running around mindlessly without alerting the enemies, but again who cares because story. To once more bring up Resident Evil, I wish they had made Ellie able to be seen, but you have the option to shove the little brat in a trash bin until the adult stuff is taken care of. Again, people like to complain that Cinematic games like The Last Of Us are for casuals and are a cancer to the gaming industry, but I like to say they are made for people who want different experiences from games, like somebody who watches movies for the set design. Cinematic experiences are amazing in games, why use the power in that Next Gen console to make games with huge open worlds or give the game more dynamic AI when you can use it to replicate movies? Furthermore, why let a game's gameplay influence your experience with and feelings toward it,? I definitely won't miss moments like in Twilight Princess when I first stood on the cliff overlooking Lake Hylia, the guitar track playing a solemn melody, as I stared at a dark but beautiful world, ravaged by an ongoing struggle for the Triforce, I, the lone hero sent to save it. Screw that, I'd much rather the game yell "THIS IS HOW YOU SHOULD BE FEELING AND WHAT YOU SHOULD BE EXPERIENCING" at me with the subtlety of Nic Cage in a French art film. Its not like video games are the one artistic medium that allow you to interact and effect the outcome of the actions being portrayed on screen (Well besides maybe a choose your own adventure novel). One probably wonders why every game doesn't take as much control as possible out of the players hand so they can watch all the interesting stuff happen in a cutscene they can't interact with in anyway. Overall, The Last Of Us is a great story, with a so-so game buried deep within it. That equates to a Great game overall that is better than the sum of its parts and not a masterpiece like everybody says it is. But my opinion is moot anyway, seeing as everybody else is just going to give it a 10 so why did I even bother?… Expand

But the game is also very linear. For me that is something of the past. The new chapter in game development are games where own decisions change story and lead to different endings (like Witcher 3). Where you have an open world to freely explore. Where you can leave the main quest to go for side quests. Where you have multiple ways to solve problems. Unfortunately the Last of Us doesnt deliver this. It is extremely linear. You have no real choices to make. But have to do anything the way the game developers want you to do it. That said, its still one of the best linear RPG's of the last years. Altough the quality of gameplay varies during the game. For the greatest part the atmosphere is really impressive. The virtual world looks great. The graphics are very good and the sounds are incredible. Unfortunately there are also moments that the gameplay gets annoying. Espesially during a lot of action, the controls are not always optimal. And by the way: in some parts of the game throwing a bottle towards your enemies is much more effective than shooting with a gun. So the next time you encounter a bear or a tiger in your real life leave your gun in your bag and just throw a bottle at it and you will be wonderfully fine. (Sarcasm) So the game does have its flaws. But for the greatest part its still an impressive experience. However for me the linear story and some annoying moments dont make it worth a 95 score. I say its worth 80 on a 100 point scale.… Expand

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.

    The Last of Us is known as one of the landmark games of last generation, and it many ways it deserves that honour. It's a game that takes 'cinematic experience' to an entirely new level. However, I'm not among those who happily laud it as the saviour of console gaming.

    As a game that prides itself on its story, it's remarkably bland and predictable. 'Zombie apocalypse' is hardly a unique or innovative setting, and surviving a journey through one isn't much better. There is no 'twist', there is no big reveal and there is no great finale. What The Last of Us does well is delivery. Naughty Dog have provided a strong cast of core and supporting characters that you will genuinely feel attachment to. This is also one of the few games in recent history - especially within the third person shooter genre - that has done character development properly. You will notice a marked difference in the characters' relationships and attitudes as the game progresses. Characters are, for the most part, likeable - even the ones who are intentionally unhelpful.

    However, it's a videogame. It's not unreasonable to expect entertaining and immersive gameplay on top of your narrative progression. For the most part, The Last of Us succeeds in this regard too - with a few rather obnoxious exceptions. Enemies, for example, are entirely oblivious to your AI allies, who in turn behave erratically, have difficulty with pathfinding and have unusual criteria for entering and exiting combat. Attempting and failing a silent takedown, for example, will prompt anyone travelling with you to open fire with the loudest and most obnoxious weapon they happen to have on their person. 'Immersion breaking' doesn't come close to covering it. On the whole, though, combat is satisfying, and although there seems to be an element of luck involved in progressing via stealth it's not entirely unpredictable and feels reasonably rewarding. Gunplay is acceptable and melee weapons feel like they have real weight to them.

    Ultimately, The Last of Us is an uninspired but exceptionally well polished third person shooter with a wonderfully executed narrative built around it. It's by no means the movie game critics make it out to be; it relies more on the player's relationship with the characters and environments than on its relatively weak story, and will hold your attention until the credits roll. Remastered is both visually impressive and deals with the framerate issues that made the original release a chore to play through, and it well worth a purchase to anyone looking to examine the capabilities of the PS4.    … Expand

The gameplay is nice and having to manage your limited ammo and inventory is a nice survival horror staple which works well here. The impact of melee fighting in the game feels great as well. This game truly shines in its story, while it doesn't do anything new for storytelling (which is terribly difficult to accomplish in the over-saturated "zombie" genre), it does play cliches straight through impressive writing and dialogue.

    1) Story - another zombie flick. If this story was presented as a movie it would recieve average scores in about 7/10. Maybe a bit more but nobody with brain wouldnt give it 10 out of 10. So lets look elsewhere for the game of the year factor.

    2) Gameplay - Nathan Drake is back! Wait, its not Nathan but he sure does look a lot like him, moves like him, shoots like him, fight like him. So in general it is him but in another setting and with different goals. The whole "uncharted" gameplay is not bad, but nothing new or special. We got stealth. This is NOT MGS, stealth is quite broken for me. I completed the game on hard and I was frustrated when enemies saw me when they werent supposed to. Whats funny they dont see my companions running like a fools and almost bumping into them. Very realistic. We also can craft things and upgrade weapons (which is quite ok) but we all saw that elsewhere and it was done better elsewhere. Whats worse, we got lots of fights. Figths that are not as fun as they should be. I was tired of seeing another horde of humans/infected attacking me again and again. At the end of the story I was wondering who killed more humans - plague or Joel... This was very anticlimatic for me. I liked the exploration part more than the fighting and the game would be better if Naughty Dog didnt throw so much enemies at us.
    So from me gameplay is solid 8/10 - quite good but glithed and not as fun as it could be - definitely not a game of the year gameplay.
    3) Visuals/Music - Graphics are nice, clean with quite a few good looking sceneries. Animation is also really good. But that damn corridors. We got Year 2015. You cant expect somebody to be amazed by graphics in AAA title where You move through damn corridors. How stupid can it get - You go into the wood and gues what? Youre in a corridor. The objective is to go to the bridge. On the way there are enemies. No, You cant go around them, BECAUSE YOURE IN A F***IN CORRIDOR!!! This is just dumb.
    But wait - this is the best game on PS3 according to critics and players. So... lets grab an axe and try to hack the table to pieces. Nothing. Lets break window with a brick. Nothing! But the axe itself is made from glass i guess because it gets broken after 4 slashes. Damn... Ok I guess I want to much (but again - game of the year...I could destroy almost everything in enviroment in Black on PS2... over 10 years ago...). Fair score for the graphics is 7+/10.

    As You can see this is NOT the best game I played and in my opinion all of You who gave this game easy 10/10 for touching story - You probably wouldnt do that if it was a movie, or the book. So unfortunatelly this show that the gaming industry in terms of storytelling is far behind other entertainment sources.
    And thats why the most important thing in games is gameplay. I hope I explained in details why the score this 8 out of 10 and why I rate simple games that base on excellent gameplay like geometry wars higher than most of current AAA titles.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Played On: Hard

    While The Last of Us delivers a superb story, it's held back by some questionable gameplay mechanics that seem to keep it from being an entirely satisfying experience. More often than not, the game forces players into combat situations that feel arbitrarily set in place. While sneaking past enemies is certainly a mainstay in the game, at times it will throw unexpected enemies at the player that cannot be avoided, forcing a fight.

    While this wouldn't be such an issue in certain other games, it does take one out of the seriousness of the story itself when you are forced to have Joel run up and brawl several enemies to death. This, mixed with the lack of ammo one will find later on (despite the fact you can stealth kill individuals who are equipped with fully loaded guns and they drop nothing) ends up making the game feel like a brawl-a-thon which is clunky and boring.

    Mechanics aside, the story is what really shines through. While the overall story arc itself isn't particularly unique or interesting, what makes the game are the characters. Ellie is perhaps one of the best female leads in a video game in history, while Joel, often called "Tex" by his partner earlier in the story, really sells the hard-ass survivor, and his character arc is one of the best I've seen in recent media story-telling. However, a chapter near the middle that starts off interesting begins to feel as if it demands too much time for too little pay-off, with its finish eliciting a sigh of relief rather than a fond farewell.

    Overall, while the story itself is quite enjoyable, primarily the characters themselves, it begins to drag in one of the middle chapters before picking up once again in the next, and the gameplay mechanics begin to feel like a detriment rather than a benefit half-way to three-quarters of the way through it. This, mixed with an ending sequence that felt too fast and easy, leaves one realizing that the greatness of this game isn't in its gameplay.    … Expand

The only thing I don't like about the game is the AI system. The AI is extremely clunky at times, sometimes they don't know where you are at, stuck near a wall and stuff like that. The enemy AI is quite dumb, even on HARD mode. They also have the same problem with the allies, too, some of which that could spoil the whole game. Stealth still okay at least. Without the AI problems, it would have been a perfect game, but still, if you want to get red eyes (good thing) when you see the graphics, i have to recommend this game for you, even when you have played the original.

    Storyline is ok. Nothing great but it's solid and engaging. I wouldn't say it's "OMG the best EVERRR, 11/10, I couldn't stop playing!!!!oneone". No.

    PAINFULLY LINEAR. I know it's kind of a standard in such games but still... If not open world it should give at least more than one way to reach the destination. Rooftops? Go ahead. Subway line? Be my guest. Sewers? Why not. City streets?    Storyline is ok. Nothing great but it's solid and engaging. I wouldn't say it's "OMG the best EVERRR, 11/10, I couldn't stop playing!!!!oneone". No.

    Enemy AI. Not talking about infected people, clickers etc. - they can be stupid. But not normal thugs. When they work in group of (let's say) 20 people and 15 of them are already dead they should act differently, stay close to each other, watch their backs etc. Meanwhile they're still wondering around alone and far from their friends trying to find Joel. When out of this remaining 5 yet another 2 or 3 dies the last survivors should change their behaviour once again. Some of them could be furious (charge at Joel like there was no tomorrow trying to avenge their comrades), some of them could be in panic (shooting at dark corners, trying to escape) etc. Thugs behaviour does not change at all.

    Overall it's a very good game. Solid 8/10.    … Expand

    This game should be only be praised for its gorgeous graphics and absolutely mind-blowing depressing story. This was my first time playing the last of us so I can't really completely compare between the previous and the remastered one.

This was my first time playing the last of us so I can't really completely compare between the previous and the remastered one.

    First I will be talking about the story. It is mind-blowing campaign as it engages you in the aftermath of the zombie breakout(the most over used cliché) which forces the people into the law of the jungle which is "only the fittest will survive" who kill each other for food and ammunition. You will be able explore those kinds of people through a protagonist who is survivor who even kills people to survive. All of the characters in the story are flawless you cannot nitpick anything about them. Eventhough the characters want the same thing( to survive) there is always something different about them which the game explores in depth. The only thing I thought the story could improve on is multiple decisions or even multiple endings if they put more time in and more effort. Eventhough they put a lot effort into this game. The game can be interactive but quite limited

    Now the actual gameplay. The gameplay does suffer a few flaws. The cons is the listen mode which you can turn off but once used its impossible not to use it again. The listen mode is basically finding where your enemies are which completely ruin the tension on finding your enemies. And killing them them in stealth very easily.But makes the game a bit strategic though. There isn't anything unique about the enemies at all but the clickers in my opinion are awesome( which is the only unique enemy). The AI can be predictable as you trace their tracks. But when it comes to your companion (yes , you will have a companion) they will actually help you defeat your enemies properly which make the game more realistic. You will also often fail due to your death or your companion's death. So in exchange for their help you will often have to help them as well. Exploration in this beautiful environment will be awarded (note-its not an open world game) as you will be given ammunition and crafting components. I found it quite addictive doing this. The ammunition is limited which makes sense since its a survival horror and a range of guns to use. There is also a crafting system which allow you to make realistic items. You can unlock new abilities as well. You can also upgrade your guns however you cannot simply press the option menu to upgrade it. Instead you have to go to specific areas where you will be able to upgrade your guns etc. In my opinion I wish this game like Dishonored have gameplay freedom where you could choose how you wanted to play since this is story-driven game. There is combat and it looks great. Every time you try to hit it someone it is always unique

    Final verdict: Outstanding story and flawless characters but with a good gameplay with a few flaws which make it less satisfying. I would have given this game a 7/10 due to the unsatisfying gameplay but I could't ignore the engaging story at all thus lead to my decision of a 8/10    … Expand

    An overvalued game.
    I've ever wanted to try this game, reading the reviews it seemed one of the best Playstation games ever, an epic game with a truly touching story which could even make you cry; so finally, after three long years, I've bought it, taking the remastered version for my ps4.
    First of all the graphics are good, being a remastered they're not as stunning as those in more    An overvalued game.
    I've ever wanted to try this game, reading the reviews it seemed one of the best Playstation games ever, an epic game with a truly touching story which could even make you cry; so finally, after three long years, I've bought it, taking the remastered version for my ps4.
    First of all the graphics are good, being a remastered they're not as stunning as those in more recent games, but they are enjoyable and settings are breathtaking.
    I love the idea of crossing the United States during a post-apocalyptic era surrounded by abandoned buildings, closed activities, soldiers and infected people everywhere. The gameplay is long enough and quite interesting, but I have to complain about the frequent bugs and the fact that the protagonist's allies, especially Ellie, the girl you have to carry with you during your journey, are often too close above all during fights and they could become an annoying obstacle:
    for example they sometimes steal your covering or stay between you and the enemy not allowing you to shoot him, making you risk your health or life.
    I love that you can upgrade guns, create bombs and aid kits by collecting tools, but in my opinion they are too rare and badly located (such as important tools put in dangerous areas full of enemies), so that at the end of the game you have barely get the 50% of things, especially pills which improve your skills aren't enough. Another annoying thing about it, is that if you die or want to restart from the last checkpoint, the game doesn't save the tools and objects you had picked up in the meanwhile, so you must re-collect them again.
    Fights are quite difficult as stealth, despite being an alternative, is useless.
    If an enemy (either a human being or an infected) finds you, even if he doesn't make any noise, all the others are inexplicably alerted and you're in great troubles. Stealth isn't well done at all.
    Finally, the part which pushed me to try this game: the plot, the story.
    I read it was captivating, brilliant.. well, not really.
    I've played games which have a much more interesting story than this: Beyond two souls, Heavy rain, Life is strange for example.
    Games in which you immediately put yourself in the main character's shoes: you feel all his anxieties, his fears, his worries, all his sensations. I even cried playing one of these games because it really touched my heart.
    But The last of us has definitely let me down.
    The idea is wonderful: a man who loses his little daughter during the start of the epidemics two decades before and then gets attached to a little girl who should just be a piece of contraband goods to him.
    But it was written in a bad way. The first chapters, excluded the prologue, are totally plain, dull, sometimes even boring. The plot is almost non existent or too predictable. Then in the last three chapters it starts to be interesting and you can get involved. But just in the last 3/4 hours of gameplay.
    In conclusion, I can describe it as a good game, it's worth your time and money, but it is absolutely overvalued since there are other ps games, usually undervalued, which give you a real captivating plot. But not this.
    The last of us is a good game, Naughty Dog rarely falls, but not as amazing as everybody says.    … Expand

    The soundtrack is immense and memorable, the graphics are hugely improved from what were already incredible graphics on the PS3, as Joel and Ellie become instantly relateable thanks to their realistic look, as well as some of the best voice acting you will hear in video games. Naughty Dog never disappoints when it comes to that aspect of games. The story of the game is so realistic it will invest anyone who plays it, the fact that the bacteria and disease involved is a real thing that does not effect humans at the moment does make the player wonder, could this actually happen?

    On the other hand, the gameplay does disrupt The Last of Us in my opinion. You will go from shooting humans that they put in front of you, to sneaking through a pack of clickers, to trying to escape from something, rinse and repeat and rinse and repeat. There is never huge variation in the gameplay, and with the shooting being particularly slow, it does not help the game at all. The Last of Us suffers from the same problems I felt Uncharted suffered from, in such a beautiful world there is never any room for exploration. Couldn't you just let us wander just a little? Damn you Naughty Dog.

    Multiplayer is quite gripping, however it doesn't really keep up with what the story was about, but it is entertaining none the less. The Last of Us is a very, very good game that does a lot of things right, but, in my opinion, just falls short of the 'great' tag.    … Expand

    Things slow down a little after the time jump, and it feels less gripping for a while. After spending some time with Ellie and Joel, however, it becomes clear why this game is held in such high regard. Seeing the relationship between the two main characters develop is what made me want to keep playing. They're well written, and the game does a good job making you care for them. Although the story and setting aren't very original, the narrative is still quite strong thanks to it's tone and, again, the characters.

    The gameplay is fun for the most part, but there are some annoyances like the clickers that can kill you in one hit until you've unlocked a certain upgrade. There's a lot of just walking around slowly too, but it's not much of a problem because this is still a very pretty game despite being a remaster of a last gen release, and the sights of The Last of Us are often worth slowing down to see. It's not all slow paced though, and there are some great action setpieces including one where you flank a sniper, and then use his weapon to defend your allies. The ending is great too, as it's action packed and you're given some strong motivation to fight in those final moments of the game.

    I loved Left Behind, the DLC that comes bundled with the PS4 remaster. It was another tense experience filled with emotion and more excellent character work. It does some different things with the mechanics of the game, using it's systems in charming new ways to help convey Ellie and Riley's relationship.

    Overall, I liked The Last of Us Remastered a lot, but I do think the moment to moment gameplay could've been better. There's a lot of moving about slowly, and although the combat can feel nice and visceral, the stealth and action gameplay isn't on the same level as the game's characters, narrative and performances, which are fantastic. These elements make this a great cinematic experience that fans of narrative driven games will surely enjoy.    … 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.
