    This game is just a masterpiece. Incredibly good! If you haven't yet, you need to play it. And if you have played the PS3 version, it's worth the revisit on the PS4.

    Master Piece
    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.

    I never played the original for PS3, so I am not sure on the comparison for the graphics but this is a great looking game. There are a few small complaints as to why doesn't the bushes or grass even budge when interacting with them, but it doesn't take away from the great overall scenery.

    The character development is fantastic, showing both Joel And Ellie feeling a great range of emotions both about the situation and their pasts. Naughty Dog sets up a great world for this to set up, with not as much as I would of liked for exploration as most areas are pretty liner but I guess that why games like Day Z exist. Both the interactions with the infected and humans feel intense. There was a section of the game where I wont go too much into detail not to spoil it, but I had sneaked around all the infected to come to a door that was blocked. You had to move the object which made a lot of noise attracting the whole room and got my heart racing. I had no idea if I was going to make it out of the room or not. This game is filled with these moments, and also filled with moments where you and Ellie are out in a field and talk about something. The game does a great job in building both characters up.

    Also this game comes with the Left Behind DLC, which is a great addition as both a prequel and some information that happens during the main game.

    The only other complaint I had was with some of the AI. There was stealth sections where you would barley move just to sneak up on your attacker, not making a single noise just for them to quickly spin around and start shooting like they had heard you or seen you. This doesn't happen often, but it always resulted in a death for me as I was playing on a harder difficulty.

    Other then that, this is a masterpiece of a game. Anyone who loves story and character driven games and obviously owns a PS3 or PS4, this is a must buy.    … Expand

    The Last of Us is one of those once in every ten years kind of game we know Naughty Dog from their Uncharted Series but this one truly stands out of the whole studio and what they are capable of. I'll say it now I was balling in tears and hoping that Naughty Dog don't get greedy and make a second instalment because it would be highly likely to beat this one.

    The story hit hard, and it hit good, and still i am in awe of this game!

    Not only does the core game mechanics work super well, the level and art design hit the ball out of the park on this one!

    It had a satisfying, albeit disturbing and emotional beginning, middle, and an end.

    The feeling i got when i played the game, and to this day, still haunts me. It almost haunts me so much, that i don't wanna play the game again, cause it was so intense, and it felt so very very true!

    Games and Movies are a high passion for me, and i always seek storytelling perfection, as there are many many games and movies i love, The Last of Us is the one that hit me the most!

The plot is beautifully put together, and the graphics match that beauty.

The game has amassed many accolades and awards from critics and is considered one of the greatest games of all time. I was finally able to find the time to finish it. The Last of Us even still in 2016 is one of the best PlayStation exclusives I have ever played. The Last of Us is an action survival game developed by Naughty Dog well know for the Uncharted series. Hearing that the game took place in a post-apocalyptic zombie setting my hopes went down. The post-apocalyptic zombie genre is beginning to get real stale and old. People have compared this game to the Walking Dead TV series that I have no inclination in watching. For this review I will try to push aside all my views on the genre and focus instead on the game and explain why I am able to like this game but still not like the genre it is in.
    The Last of Us was made a few years ago back in 2013 at the end of 7th console generation. I will be reviewing the remastered version on PS4 which looks surprisingly beautiful and breathtaking for a post-apocalyptic setting. Instead of creating a generic desert wasteland setting the Last of Us features a variety of unique environments from collapsed cities and suburbs where plants and nature are returning to flourish, stunning mountains full of trees rivers and wildlife to snowy locations up in the mountains. The graphics have also aged surprisingly well but do not look as impressive as some of the current 8th generation game engines. How well the graphics have held up his a testament to the fact that photo-realistic graphics can be just as stunning if not better than stylized ones.The game features limited types of enemies which include infected zombies and bandits and raiders and the occasional soldiers. I found the infected design better than most zombie designs because of the fact that they are infected by a fungal infection based off of the real life fungal infection that happens to insects called cordyceps. I found the zombie enemies still unexciting and uninspired and I felt they could have done more with the fungal infection theme. I find zombies a repetitive uninspired enemies that are too prevalent in the game industry. I found the raider encounters tense and exciting especially the encounters in the winter section of the game. Overall the Last of Us offers an impressive presentation that will not be forgotten excusing the boring zombie enemies.
    Story wise the Last of Us tells an unforgettable story that you will not forget. I found the story so enjoyable that I recommend playing this game for the story alone. The Last of Us stars the main characters of Joel and Ellie. I found them some of the most well developed characters in a video game period. I don’t want to spoil the story at all because it is that good. All I will say is that the game takes place during the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse in the U.S. The goal is to escort Ellie a 13 year old girl who is immune to the virus to the lab of the Fireflies a terrorist organization that fights against the now remaining U.S. government which has become militarized. The story will keep you on edge as you watch Ellie and Joel travel across the country trying to survive. By the end of the game you will gripping your controlling hoping that Ellie and Joel can make it out alive. My favorite character by far is Ellie and I found her to be entertaining, sympathetic, and funny all at the same time. I found the ending satisfying and encompasses the tone of the game.
    The Last of Us offers fun innovative gameplay that helps add to game's narrative and graphics. The Last of Us uses the standard survival gameplay system. The game uses stealth and a crafting system where combat is done with an over the shoulder perspective. The game also has the occasional boss fights as well. The gameplay is nothing to write home about yet its simplicity is its beauty. The gameplay allows the player to experience the story and atmosphere without being interrupted. I found the melee combat nice and crunchy and allows the player to feel every painful brutal attack you give to each enemy. The gameplay adds to brutal nature of the story by having the player engage in guerilla warfare by having the player use handcrafted weapons and basic firearms. I did find some weapons unnecessary such as the flamethrower and automatic weapons. They take away from the survival nature of the combat and turn it into a generic over the shoulder shooter like most games. The Last of Us delivers in making tense survival gameplay that will keep entertained throughout the game.

    The Last of Us is an essential game that should be played by all Playstation users. The game features atmospheric realistic environments and crafts a story that is so excellent it will be remembered long after finishing the game. The survival gameplay is great but does not quite measure up to the game’s story and atmosphere. I believe that there will never be such a thing as a perfect game but the Last of Us comes extremely close. The game has a few flaws such as the long load times and zombie enemies which I found simplistic compared to the game’s great story and characters. Despite the fact that I do not like the zombie apocalypse genre, I found that The Last of Us a masterpiece. When I finished the game and saw the credits roll I realized that the game was not about the zombies but the human drama instead and what people will do to protect the ones they love.

    This is a great game. This isn't really my type of game, but it's amazing. The storyline connects to you in a way that was almost as well as the way Assassin's Creed did. The gameplay is pretty good, but still, Assassin's Creed (for example) was better. I still give it a 10. But if you have the original Last of Us, don't get it, not enough of a new edition.

One of the best stories I have ever seen, unfortunately at the end of the campaign they leave you hanging. That is why I hope they make a second one it will be just as good as the first. Bloody, brutal, and stealthy combat makes this the best combat in a game for a while, you even get to play as Ellie for some of the storyline which I had a lot of fun with that. Joel is not your typical 40 year old he is a total destroyer and you will have fun playing as him. All in all, if you have not played this game you must play it, one of Naughty Dog's finest masterpieces.

    The multiplayer to me wasn't as fun as the story, but that doesn't mean it was bad. I just wouldn't play it and I dont think this game even needs a multiplayer to be a success.

    Beautiful, brutal, shocking, and heartbreaking. These a just a few words I could use to describe what I regard as possible the best game I have played in more than 25 years of gaming. The Last of Us ticks all the boxes for a classic:

    [*] Graphics - All the characters are fully motion captured and move with a degree of fluidity and realism that I have rarely seen matched in other games.    Beautiful, brutal, shocking, and heartbreaking. These a just a few words I could use to describe what I regard as possible the best game I have played in more than 25 years of gaming. The Last of Us ticks all the boxes for a classic:

    [*] Graphics - All the characters are fully motion captured and move with a degree of fluidity and realism that I have rarely seen matched in other games. Aside from a few long distance textures, the backgrounds are exquisitely detailed, pulling you into the post-collapse world that the characters find themselves trying to navigate through.

    [*] Story - TLoU has one of the best written stories of a game I played, crafting characters who feel incredibly real and placing them within a decaying world setting that is both awful and plausible. While the core plot of the game has undoubtedly been done before, it has rarely, if even been executed with the nuance, pacing, style, and care as it has been here. If you care about story and character development in your games, TLoU hits it out of the park.

    [*] Music - The hauntingly beautiful soundtrack to the game, written by Oscar winning composer Gustavo Santolalla, perfect fits with the melancholy tone of the game as the characters struggle through the a world in which the remnants of human civilisation are slowly being reclaimed by the natural world. It is easily up there with the best videogame soundtracks ever written.

    [*] Voice Acting - Brilliant across the board, the voice cast of TLoU convey the grief, fear, despair, and hatred of the characters they inhabit, elevating their characters to a level of believability rarely achieved in the medium. Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson, as the voices of the two main characters, Joel and Ellie, carry the game of the strength of their exceptional performances and are, to my mind at least, the benchmark against which all other videogame voice acting will be measured.

    [*] Gameplay - If The Last of Us can be said to have any weakness, its that its gameplay is not as exceptional as every other facet of the game. The combat borrows heavily from Naughty Dog's other franchise "Uncharted", using third person melee and shooting combat, combined with a fairly simple stealth and crafting systems. While the combat is enjoyable, it remains fairly basic and does not have anything like the depth of the stealth action of something like Metal gear Solid. That said, it works well enough and keeps you sufficiently engaged to push the story along. The crafting mechanics are again, basic, but all the things you can make are useful and encourage you to think about what you will build and how you will use the finite resources you have at your disposal. But for all its limitations, the gameplay is never bad and doesn't detract from the overall experience, its simply not as outstanding as the rest of the package.

    Its rare that you can look at a game and say, "This is a work of art", but the The Last of Us is without a doubt one of those rare, exceptional games that transcends the limitations of its medium and achieves that lofty status. If you are a gamer who cares about storytelling in your games, TLoU is an unmissable experience in cinematic videogame storytelling and shows just what medium can do in the hands of truly skilled creators given the room by publishers to pursue their vision to its fullest potential.    … Expand

    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.

They all represent a side of humanity and the game does a fantastic job of creating each one as an individual, a unique individual. In hearing Hollywood is producing a movie, I cringed. They could not do justice to this story. At least not in a 1 to 3 hour movie. Perhaps a miniseries, 10 part, 10 hours. Anyway back to the game. The mechanics work just fine, the gameplay is great, the shooting, running, melee, all are top notch. The story grabs you from the start and does not let you go. I am a huge fan of Mass Effect and the development of each character within its story. The Last of Us creates a bond between player and characters like no other game. The entire game focuses on struggle, loss and the human desire to fight on and find any hope you can to drive you. I thought this would be another zombie game...I could not have been more wrong. Sure zombies infest the world, but the real terror is the people. Last of Us captures humanity in all its ugliness, and does it beautifully. I am 42 years old and have played games forever. I remember Zelda, wow, I remember a lot of great titles. Last of Us is truly in the argument for greatest game ever....period.… Expand

I won't give too much away but Joel has a friend named Tess, and both are very good at smuggling. It becomes quite apparent that what is left of the United States government is corrupt and loves censorship. Anyway, it is really hard to give you much more than that without spoiling a lot. It is not an open world game. Instead it focuses on a more linear approach but at the same time rewards exploring players. You will need supplies and ammunition both of which are very hard to find so make everything count. I also suggest playing on hard your first run through. Normal can be a bit too easy at times. If you own a ps4 or ps3 pick this game up as soon as possible. People will be talking about this game for years to come, and now that The Last of Us part 2 is in the works now is the perfect time to play it.… Expand

Some are criticizing the story and character development but I thought the story was well thought out and gave rise to different opportunities and styles of gameplay that you had to adapt to, so I certainly don't think it was repetitive, and plenty of hours worth of gameplay to get stuck into. You could see character development but I do think that at times the character interaction was very limited and it was a bit frustrating that a lot of the times they interacted were during cut scenes. The voice overs were however, excellent and the game/characters draws you in, and the music is perfectly matched to the game. Very very unique game and not for those who simply want to run in head first and shoot the place up; this is a strategic game and is an absolute masterpiece… Expand

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.
