    What a remaster! One of the very best games I have ever played on any system. Everything about this package is top quality. This is very much a work of art. A Masterpiece

    TLOU is an extremely pretty game. It does enough to separate itself from its PS3 counterpart to warrant a second purchase. This package includes the Left Behind expansion and all multiplayer DLC. The story is incredible. There are twist and turns and you never really know what will happen next. I found myself having no idea when the game would end!. The intro is extremely emotional.

The story is incredible. There are twist and turns and you never really know what will happen next. I found myself having no idea when the game would end!. The intro is extremely emotional. The game takes hold there and never lets go although the first 30-1:00 after that are extremely boring. Once you get through that it is a great game. The visuals are stunning. Combat requires carefully planned strategy and execution. The gunplay feels a bit clunky at first after upgrading Joel and acquiring more powerful weapons it feels right at home. The zombie AI is frustrating but not intelligent. It will get cheap shots on you more times than you can count and getting killed by a clicker (a powerful zombie that can instakill you if it gets close) sometimes these aren't fair and restarting an area with them over and over again gets tiresome. The same can't be said for human enemies. They are extremely smart. They will find ways to get around you and attack you from behind. Fighting a group of enemies at once is extremely stressful and nerve wracking. The locations throughout the story are varied and beautiful. The last section of combat in the story is tiresome and a low point. Crafting requires thinking as things like health packs use the same equipment as molotovs.
    The multiplayer is great and puts a new spin on stealth gameplay. It requires careful coordinating with other players. It has an extremely steep learning curve. My best advice is move slow and stick with your teammates. The crafting interface works well here and the maps fit in nicely. The left behind DLC is good but not as much as the main story line. Overall this is a fantastic game with only minute issues.

    Great story and game-play, but dumb puzzles and too lineal level design. I've really fun with this game, with its beatiful art and graphics. I regret have played in Normal mode, it should be played in Survivor mode, it's too easy once you learn how to beat any enemy.

    Next to Shadow of Mordor, this is the best game on PS4 right now. It is a lot of fun and makes you feel fully immersed into this convoluted world. I think that the visuals on this game are excellent. Naughty Dog knocked this one of out of the park. I am not a huge fan of the limited ammo that you have online in multiplayer, but that is a minor issue. Excellent game, lot of fun to play.

    After seeing all the review sites and shows giving this game awards, I finally decided to pick it up on the ps4. What a big mistake and waste of money that was...... I was expecting some amazing storyline with amazing gameplay but that is not what this game is at all.

    After seeing all the review sites and shows giving this game awards, I finally decided to pick it up on the ps4. What a big mistake and waste of money that was...... I was expecting some amazing storyline with amazing gameplay but that is not what this game is at all.
    Gameplay is the most annoying thing I have ever felt when playing a game. The stealth aspect is so broken... you spend 90% of the time sneaking past enemies - then at the last moment get spotted by a clicker or infected, then get bitten on the neck because this game has no real weapons whatsoever, and have to end up doing it all over again. There seems to be millions of bricks laying around but no weapons at all.
    There is no point even having a gun in this game as ammo is so scarce. Consider yourself lucky if you have 6 units of ammo in your inventory! Also another joke in this game is that in other games where we actually have something called a "Knife" in this game they expect us to keep making our own shivs, and the only way to take down some enemies is to sneak up and shiv them.. what a joke...... Surely we come across so many allies in the game and someone is bound to have a knife.
    The storyline is cliche. Same old story of town getting infected by zombie virus and you fighting for survival. The only good thing is the voice acting in the game but thats about it.
    The graphics are not ground breaking either... Im surprised seeing people go on about how amazing the graphics are, but they just look average in my opinion. People seem to be getting excited over its ability to render at 60fps at 1080p, but whats the point? seeing as the gameplay is lacking 100% in this. Also the game puts you in smaller environments where draw-distance is not required, so its bound to have a higher frame per second..
    I would not recommend anyone to buy this game, especially at full price. Worth a rental just to see what all the fuss is about, but to buy and own would not be worth it.

    This game is exactly what it was supposed to be, a REMAKE.
    It is just what it was for the PS3, an amazing game that sent the PS3 out with a bang. If you were expecting it to be different or better than the original, you will be disappointed because, again, this is a REMAKE.
    Incredible game, great story, realistic gameplay, add it to your library.

    Having not been able to get in to this game on the PS3, I cautiously bought it on PS4 and I don't know what happened, but I really got in to it.

    I don't know if it is the DS4 or just that I was more focused on it this time, but I deeply enjoyed the whole game. Story was great and absorbing, lots of outcomes you didn't see coming, and characters you really get attached to. Throw in

    Throw in the real feeling of survivial from the infected and bandits, you never feel truly safe.

    I have seen some users who have gave it a bad score just to clearly be edgy like a hipster would, hating on a company/franchise just because it's popular, but Naughty Dog have really out done themselves with this remastered edition.

    Don't think about buying it, just buy it.

    One of the finest games I have ever played. The campaign is compelling, human and exhilarating. The characters develop and their relationships grow. It strikes the perfect balance of exploration and shooter. It is a game for adults with a mature morality and believable world. A great stride forward for those of us who are waiting for video games to quit catering solely to teenagers.One of the finest games I have ever played.

    What is more, the multiplayer is the rare shooter that rewards strategy and can be enjoyed by a novice without having to spend an absurd amount of time.

    Yes this game is very good, verging on excellent.. It is also hyped up to the max, best game ever it simply is not (for me anyway)(storyline yes).

    Lets start with the good, of which there is a lot. Gameplay is genuinely engrossing and challenging, I haven't played the game on the easier settings, starting off on the hardest, and some areas are really tough. You have to conserve and choose when to use ammo etc. The game is very atmospheric (graphically too), sometimes chilling.. It actually scared the **** out of me a couple of times!

    Combat and shooting is quite tough, upgrading is essential.. the AI of the enemies is ok, not brilliant, but they don't all just run and gun. Stealthing is really fun, taking out enemies slowly and tactically is much more rewarding than trying to gun everyone down, although how Ellie doesn't get you discovered!

    Onto the storyline, the famous storyline... Yea its amazing! I really did go though this game with a genuine connection to the characters, it's hard not to be empathetic.., i won't go into too much detail, i'm sure you already know. I replayed this game straight after i finished because I enjoyed it so much.

    So why not a ten? Simply because for me a game has to be perfect to get a ten.. i guess for me perfect means I play a game for months without getting bored,.. hence why games like Guitar Hero (yes!) and Halo are better, for me personally.. I suppose it depends on what your priorities are.. A perfect game fom me has to be at its core, addictive and fun to play for many, many weeks if not months. The Last Of Us is addictive for a little less time. I put this on a par with the Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic games which i absolutely loved for story/gameplay/graphics, but got a little less replayability.

    Still in my top ten favourite games ever!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Overall Premise: Build upon the epic masterpiece released last year with a slight graphical update for new consoles and a few other tweaks and additional features.

    Graphics and Sound: Truly phenomenal work all around.

    Playability and Entertainment: The story is still entertaining and believable, the ending as simultaneously heart-achey and solid. The controls have been tweaked slightly and work even better to get the dirty jobs required done.

    Replay Value: Very High.

    It’s an understatement to say that TLOU: Remastered is well made. It was an already magnificently produced game when it launched in June of 2013, and with this reiteration, pushed by the hardware of the Playstation 4, The Last of Us Remastered is a polished treat not to be missed by Sony newcomers and people in general who’ve not played the game and own a PS4. Being a Sony newcomer myself,It’s an understatement to say that TLOU: Remastered is well made. It was an already magnificently produced game when it launched in June of 2013, and with this reiteration, pushed by the hardware of the Playstation 4, The Last of Us Remastered is a polished treat not to be missed by Sony newcomers and people in general who’ve not played the game and own a PS4. Being a Sony newcomer myself, this review will focus on all aspects of the game, not just the revamps.

    The setting is a post-apocalyptic world wherein the story of Joel is told, a story that covers the struggle of survival while also tackling themes of finding purpose in a world beaten by devastation. The world has been hit by a pandemic, Cordyceps, inspired by a real fungal parasite that affects several species of insects, only here it has evolved to affect humans and the effects are nothing short of lethal and terrifying. Eventually Joel and Ellie cross paths, and this will unfold a well written, beautifully performed journey that shines and stands tall in what one could consider an oversaturated ocean of post-apocalyptic tales. Naughty Dog succeeds in telling a story that, albeit unoriginal, is gripping and engrossing by developing likeable characters and an outstanding dialogue coupled with amazing voice performances. Caring about the lead characters is inevitable, and thanks to the perfect pacing of the story, one will continuously desire to see where and how their stories end.

    As a video game, TLOU provides plenty of engaging, fun action. The gameplay covers from traversing through a variety of beautifully made scenarios to shootings and crafting. This is not an FPS; the game encourages stealth, even more so in higher difficulties (which are recommendable for a higher feeling of entertainment). Ammo is scarce, melee weapons degrade with use, and enemy AI is smart by reacting to sounds—they will hold their attack if you take one hostage, and they will even attack you more ferociously if you try to fire your gun only to find out it’s empty. And those are only the human enemies. Cordyceps, though not organized, are varied and aggressive and will provide a huge challenge if unprepared. Crafting comes in handy and it cleverly encourages the player to explore the map in order to find tools to create better weapons, bombs, upgrades, and ammo. All these factors provide a tension that so rightly fits in a video game with this theme.

    Even better, the game comes packed with a multiplayer mode that works perfectly within the context of TLOU’s atmosphere. Having the player join one of two factions and using the same gameplay system of the single player experience, multiplayer becomes a strategic battle where teamwork is invaluable; going solo is not going to pay off. It also serves a purpose; matches come with challenges to achieve, furthering the journey of your faction towards salvation.

    All of this is enhanced by the power of the PS4 that makes the image look crisp and beautiful. The character and scenery models are nothing short of intricate. Better lighting and shadows, along with a more complex particle effect system give the game even better graphics. Not even the E3 demo of the original game looked this good.

    When all these aspects come together, the pinnacle of immersive experiences in video games is achieved. Owning a PS4 system is reason alone to assume TLOU Remastered is in one’s collection. It’s a game not to be missed. The Last of Us Remastered may be overhyped, but damn if it didn’t meet that hype and then some.

    The Last of Us Remastered is perhaps the most frustrating game I've seen this year not because of the combat or characters or story or anything in the game itself for that matter.

Just how much attention and praise its gotten for being the same game but prettier and on a different system. TLOU is a good game, no doubt about it. The combat is flawless and executed perfectly in every way. Not to get ahead of myself here, but the combat is actually, in my opinion, is as sleek and satisfying as the Batman games. The characters are relatable and none of them are irritating or arbitrary in any way. The game has its eyes on cinematic side to games, just like Uncharted. It pulls it off nicely and thanks to the graphics makes cut scenes look like a Blu-Ray film, and the gameplay look like a work of interactive art. If there's one thing TLOU slips up on is the story progression. As in the places the characters go to seems a little too convenient or pre-determined a lot of the time. For example, in one section of the game you meet someone who just so happens to be a friend of the main character AND a mechanic to get them out of there as well as a car mechanic too.

    This game is recommended and does deserve the praise it gets despite the fact the people who get this for a second time on PS4 are unmistakably going to be playing the same game again. Not that there's a problem with that.

    This is the best single player game I've played since my Nintendo days, and I don't think I've ever felt so much for video game characters.

    This is the best single player game I've played since my Nintendo days, and I don't think I've ever felt so much for video game characters. The voice actors and writers did a terrific job, but what I think is even more impressive is the body language in the cutscenes. The artists did an unbelievably good job capturing all the nuances of human interaction.

    The gameplay itself always kept me on the edge of my seat, I always felt like I was in danger. Playing this game you quickly learn that something bad is always going to happen "soon", but you don't know what "soon" means. Some not-particularly scary places explode in your face while you're walking through, while sometimes dark buildings where you're sure a horde of zombies must be hiding, are actually empty. Caring about the characters amplifies this sense of danger. Even though dying has no major consequences, I still felt I desperately had to avoid it.

    To some extent, this is a stealth game. You will have a much easier time if you try to take out enemies quietly - or even sneak right past! For most part the stealth mechanics are pretty good. There was never a time when an enemy magically saw through a wall or something like that. On the other hand, the enemies can be amazingly oblivious to you sitting behind a crate with your head poking up above it. Or they will look right at you and shine a flashlight in your face, except you're like a hundred feet away and they can't see that far.

    Shooting mechanics are good and feel very realistic. Ammo is scarce so you find yourself taking careful aim and swearing when you miss.

    This game is very linear. Naughty Dogs is telling a story here, and it's NOT a story about the player, it's a story about Joel and Ellie. The two of them make monumental decisions with zero input from the player. You are guided by the environment from point A to point B along a pretty narrow path. It is common in such games that they are not very replayable. This is true here, too. While I did love playing through this game, I probably will not play the main story again, at least not for quite a while. The main story took me 12 hours to beat. After that you can try it on higher difficulties or look for collectible items and such if you're into that.

    Online multiplayer is actually pretty cool and I don't know of any other online games quite like it. It's pretty slow paced and tactical so you must be patient. There's a lot of hiding and creeping around and trying to get the angle on each other. Sadly, not that many people play it. The only gripe I have is that I wished they left out the "listen" ability that lets you see nearby, moving enemies through walls. It weakens the stealth aspect.

    They did an excellent job upgrading the graphics. I would not have guessed that it is a remastered PS3 game. It does seem like they missed a couple of spots, though. I remember being in a sewer and there were some chains attached to this grate so it could be lifted by pully. Except the chains weren't shaped like chains, they were clearly boxes with chain links painted on them.

    All in all if you don't have this game on your shelf, you're doing it wrong. Fix that!

    I had very high hopes for The Last of Us, given it was a Naughty Dig game. The game lived up to these hopes, thankfully. The story was amazing, the graphics surreal, and the acting (yes, acting, and more than just voice acting) astounding. It was a perfect game, a masterpiece in fact. It plays far better than any other game and is worth your time and money.

    The game tells an absolutely amazing story and has fantastic characters that you become emotionally attached to. I felt like I was playing a television series, except there wasn't a single bad "Episode." The game does have zombies in it, however I would hardly call "The Last of Us" a "Zombie Game" because it has the perfect balance of zombie threats, human threats and storytelling.

    The only disappointing part of this game was the fact that it ended. If you own a PS3 or a PS4, I officially label this game as a MUST BUY.

    *Note that this review does not include my thoughts on the story based-DLC included with the game or the multiplayer. This review is solely for the base story, including Joel and Ellie.

    There is a wonderful line connecting this game start to finish - an aging man years ago lost everything, including his teenage daughter who was killed, gets to relive fatherhood feelings while having to take care of and protect the girl he has to take across the country. The storyline if modified is probably worth a movie at some point down the road, but as far as gameplay it gets repetitive and old very fast - you run around, collect items, shoot and kill zombies, infected, military, etc.. while going from point A to point B in a predefined path. There is no open world concept really, it is almost like you are playing a on-rails-shooter with some degree of flexibility how to kill your enemies. It gets boring, the level of complexity in "puzzle solving" is sad, and is better left to 1st graders (Don't, because it is not a game for kids...), lack of different paths in gameplay, or decision-consequence in the game is an eye-sore. Some tasks could be time-limited, outcomes of your "faith" or difficulty of the path chosen may depend on which door you open, which path you take around city/your surroundings, items found, information you collect could depend on "friends" (and there are not many...) you make, there is so much more that could have been done to make game interesting.

    It is visually beautiful, story is good, but that is where it ends. I am torn, to give it better or worse rating, because there are worse games that get better ratings, but to be fair, 6 is just about right given high expectations and hype that is created. I want to be surprised by the game in a positive way to give it a 9 or 10.

    Gameplay: 4/10
    Visuals: 9/10
    Story: 10/10
    Quality: 9/10
    Overall: 6/10

    I would rate Assassin's Creed, Uncharted, GTA ahead of The Last of Us, I do not want to be bored by the game, and if you are into a good story, well, I suggest you read a good book before you go to bed instead...

When playing, i kept hoping for a game sort of like uncharted, as it was made by the same company, but all I got in my experience was sneaking around, picking up ladders, placing those ladders dow, and climbing up them. The Last of Us felt more like a movie, you couldn't go more than 5-10 minutes before walking into a cutscene, and even between those cutscenes had no action, the only action going on took place in the cutscenes. Getting into a cutscene was like rolling the dice, no action in the cutscene, no action in the game, action in the cutscene, well you've got a 50% chance of actually having a thrill in the game. A little tip to those people who want this game, I'd recommend you just buy a movie instead, you save yourself the money. You can even search up on places such as YouTube, "The Last of Us Full Movie", and that shows you everything that happens in the game, as they don't even need to try hard to even get rid of the gameplay, as there really is NO gameplay.

    This is easily the #1 game I ever played. The Remastered version didn't add anything except for the new DLC and improved graphics, but even the original is so superb that you aren't missing a lot, by not playing the Remastered version. Though, if you own a PS4 and didn't play it on PS3, I strongly recommend you to purchase the game - it's definitely worth it.

    With all the hype surrounding this game, and the talk of a film being made, I was worried then when I finally got to play 'The Last Of Us' it would be another AAA flop. How wrong I was.

    The gameplay itself is a standard 3rd person shooter mechanic, however, in this game there is a large emphasis on stealth and, like a true survival horror style game should do, you feel the need (on many occasion) to avoid contact with the enemy to save your valuable supplies for another, possible harder, encounter. This level of tension and immersion is one that I have never truly experienced with any other game (possibly my attachment to my squad in the final mission of Mass Effect 2) and it's this that takes TLoU to another level of gaming.

    The script and voice acting is sublime which aids with the immersion even further. The atmosphere (music, sound effects, lighting, etc.) of this world created by Naughty Dog is set wonderfully and the gameplay is fluid, effective and exciting. The gameplay is one I would describe as easy to learn - hard to master, which is the kind of gameplay that is few and far between nowadays. The game overall, can be quite difficult, especially for someone of a short attention span who would rather run and gun, but if played correctly, is incredibly rewarding and intense.

    The characters are not only likable but lovable and really make you feel as if you're part of the game. There were parts of the game when I would be shouting at the TV for Ellie or Joel's sake.

    Although having a PS3 when TLoU was release originally, I decided to wait for the game to be rereleased on PS4. Whilst this was probably a good choice with regards to the visuals, I noticed a few glitches that I assumed wouldn't have been present in the original version such as enemies running in circles, falling through the map, and dying instantly when getting stuck on a ledge. However, none of these ruined my experience of the game.

    In addition, DLC and multiplayer actually add to the game for once. The multiplayer is good fun and well built and balanced which is something I wasn't expecting. The DLC builds up the back story and fills in the gaps as brilliantly as the game told the original story.

    All-in-all, TLoU is an experience. An experience that you should not deprive yourself of having. I gave this game a 10/10, not because the game is flawless, but because I haven't enjoyed a game this much for a very long time (and I don't see me doing so for a long time in the future), and in an industry that is awash with repetitive, recycled, bland AAA titles, The Last of Us is a nice reminder that games have the potential to be as brilliant as any other art form.

    Though it seems fairly inconsequential to offer up another option about a game which has had so much written about it in the last year, my perspective is perhaps a bit different than the status quo and thus will offer it. Many reviewers have called this game a masterpiece, of which the 'remastering' simply further elevates its masterpieceness.

    There are 2 areas which I agree The Last of Us is truly extraordinary: characterization and graphical flexibility. Note I didn't say story and graphics, because these paint a large swath over many attributes in which The Last of Us is merely good or perhaps even average.

    There may never have been characters like Joel and Ellie in a video game. If there have been I don't believe I've played it. The facial expressions, motivations, voice acting, and dialogue between them is that of a good movie or TV show. Not a great movie or TV show, but a good one, and that is enough to set it in a league of its own in the video game realm. They are the anchors of the game and without them this game is lost. Everything is built upon their relationship to each other and to the world, and it is executed beautifully.

    Perhaps you were wondering about that second extraordinary characteristic, "graphical flexibility" (I'll admit I perhaps just made that up). What I mean by that are moments of truly great presentation that by all accounts would have appeared to be a pre-rendered scene if it weren't for the fact that you just caused it to happen. For instance, say you're in the midst of a zombie horde and out of bullets and decide it's time to give them a good thrashing with your trusty baseball bat. You start to hit them and the camera reacts and Joel's movements look so natural it truly does look right out of a movie. Or if a "clicker" gets the better of you and bears into your neck another cut-scene arises that purely originated from your actions. I marveled at these over and over at these thinking something would be messed up, something would be out of place or someone's motions would appear out of place. That never happened. Every time it felt completely real. They've tapped something here that if it could be expanded upon and continued will add a tremendous amount to absorption in a game.

    Now for the rest of it. Well the rest of it is good, if not forgettable. The graphics are solid for sure, good lighting and textures, nothing that hasn't been done before but certainly they are pretty. The story aside from the characters isn't terribly original. There's some interesting twists, but overall there's not much here to separate from the other thousand zombie stories floating around. The gameplay is a bit dull. If you've played any of the Uncharted series you'll likely know their shooting mechanics aren't exactly top shelf, and the solitary puzzle element of finding a ladder or something to jump on isn't terribly riveting. The best moments of combat come from when you run out of bullets and are down on your luck, and have to sneak white knuckled around tons of people who want to kill you.

    Speaking of that, I'll go off on a bit of a tangent and say I'm disappointed (and truthfully not for the first time) that a game that really tries to be realistic and suck you in has tons of people just walking around doing nothing but apparently looking for you without any good reason. The zombies make sense I guess, I wouldn't think they would have daily objectives, but truth be told most of your enemies in this game are comprised of humans who just patrol around dumbly with apparently no purpose in life but to kill people who happen to wander around them. They might as well be zombies themselves. I would have loved to catch some people actually doing something, some tense interactions where you had a bit of a stand off or something. Or at least give me a better reason for them wanting to kill me with such zealotry.

    Anyway, the gameplay isn't very exciting. In fact, I found it so dull I simply stopped playing the game for a long period of time. Eventually I came back and was drawn in enough to finish it, but it sure wasn't the thrill of the hunt. It was Joel and Ellie. They're the heart of the game, and they're a glorious heart indeed. Them with what appeared to me to be a technical breakthrough with aspects of graphics was enough to keep me going. But it did feel tedious at times, and truthfully just wasn't much fun.

    Multiplayer - Since the patch and update they made for the Multiplayer Faction, things have been going more smoothly, however there will be times when things don work. Like being stuck in the black loading screen. Or when you and your friends would not be on the same team even though you were on the same party. But once you are passed with the negativity which likely wont happen as often anymore. This is where Last of Us truly shine. With the emphasis on team work, playing smart and together with the crafting mechanics it has made this game truly one of a kind online multi-player experience.

    Would recommend this game to anyone that has never played it on the PS3 and as for PS4 owners, you might to get it if you are really into the Online Faction mode since the crowd is still going strong.

    Second, the attack/hide game play was pretty fun. The amount of ammo and weapons you use the finish the chapter won't be there next time, so use your ammo wisely. You must use stealth to alter the overwhelming odds against you, but the actual AI in the game were kind of stupid. If you turn on your flash light on zombies won't notice you, which doesn't make any sense. While in stealth mode your support runs out in front of the enemy to hide without being seen. 5/10

    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.

Go solo and you die, simple as that. If your team plays as a team you have a good chance of winning. If your team runs around you will be slaughtered.

If there is any game worth a score of 10/10 its this one. Expand

    fantastic game but story and game play does die off quite a bit towards the end. Left feeling a bit "was that it" but up until the last chapter it was one of the best games I have played.

I'm on my 4th play though it and still not bored yet.

    To all the wannabe critics on here who think this game is worth a zero, there is a reason you're job isn't to be a critic. Because you're blind and ignorant with a close minded opinion that shouldn't be taken seriously.

    Would have gave a ten, as the game is the **** but the multiplayer basically requires one to have 4 friends online communicating or get demolished by those group of 4 level 50's who have been playing since the ps3. It's quite frankly, not fun. Though as mentioned, this game still is the **** because of the single player, and those rare instances where you do have 4 friends online at the same time.

    This is the cancer killing gaming. Grim dark inter-active movie for edgy children who think it is masterpiece but it is actually on the level of saturday morning cartoon in terms of depth. The gameplay which is what games are meant to be about is shallow, vapid and boring. Its basically Uncharted reskinned from this incredibly over rated developer.

    Pros:
    Atmosphere- it feels all too real. The survival feeling is true. Scavenging ammo during shoot outs whilst taking cover is intense.
    Side characters- The situation is tense, you don't know who to trust, or what exactly they might do. But some.. Are just flat out insane.
    Ellie- she's a great character, certainly better then Joel. You can relate to her, and always hope the best for her.

    Cons:
    Joel- he's a boring character, never had a connection with him, although usually his arsenal is better then Ellie's .
    Story- is too far predictable, me and my cousin laughed at times, because we knew what was going to happen. And the ending is sequel heavy. Not satisfying.
    Enemies- some will magically see you or notice you even if you were in cover or moving quietly. Some wear helmets, many times I clearly shot the face, and the helmet just falls off. And there is far too many QTE, which makes it a button mashing fest.
    Too linear- not enough room to scavenge or plan, it makes the game far too hard. Okay I understand Ellie can't swim, and this adds puzzles for Joel to help Ellie across the water. But why is the a 'convenient' plank for Ellie to step on, every where? It gets old really fast. And the DLC pack that comes with it, makes Ellie do certain actions for no apparent reason. Only to raise more controversy on the game.

    Special mention- this game was fun, but has bad pacing, and a list of other problems from keeping it great for me, but you do get your money's worth, for the length of about 20hrs doing everything. I don't exactly recommend this game, it isn't something special. And on the PS4 the graphics aren't as good as Infamous, it's still PS3 ish. Although this is the most mature Zombie game on the market.

    This game came off as pretty average to me. People may have certain taste when it comes to what they love of this particular art form. Gameplay for me is crucial to what makes a video game. It's the foundation for many and it's what we would define a video game.

    The Last Of Us excels greatly in its presentation. Graphically it's the best of the best and second to none on console. I actually felt that what I saw in the game was actual real such as the buildings, infected, and people. The environments swell to the brim with technical and graphical brilliance. The characters come off as very interesting with Joel beaten by his 20 year experience in the new world order or his partner, Tess, hopelessly clinging to a hope that is far beyond her reach.

    The plot though unoriginal is performed very well by the games many interesting characters and has the highest of presentation value. The main issue I encountered while playing is that over the course of the main plot the protagonist comes across an epiphany. This is why the game is set in this period because it's the most important part of the protagonist life in this set time period. However, it fell flat when Joel doesn't come across any realization at all and stays the same as he was at the start of the game. Now some would say that Joel realized love, but that's only part of his character. Selfishness is the primary trait that governed Joel from the start of the game to its very end and it was very unsatisfying.

    The gameplay in this game could best be described as repetitive and bare bones. The games constant use of sneak through this environment and kill the same enemies over and over got very boring and it's mechanic of placing boards across gaps was rather laughable. The crafting system is very limiting of what you can make and felt like more of a minor mechanic rather than an essential part of the game. This game also suffers from replayability issues as it's story is rather limiting in interesting and original gameplay. I felt that I was watching a movie rather than playing an interactive piece of media most of the time.

    The multiplayer is this game's saving grace when it comes to gamplay offering very interesting modes that could carry the game on for several years.

I grew up with the Atari 2600, played Centipede and Xevious in the arcades. Yeah, I go way back. From level design, fun combat, immense detail, this game is a combination of Fallout 3, Bioshock, and Deus Ex.

It is set in a future post-apolyptic desolate setting of america and is based round a few key and vital characters. The story is about survival and gathering resources for your character to use in crafting aid items, weapon upgrades etc. The game is linear in nature however not that it detracts from its special cinematic sequences or it's beautiful yet eerie setting, plus there is subtle player choice to be had in naughty dog's latest outing say upgrading your weapons, crafting molotovs and first aid items like in rage the video game, very similar. The main aspects of the last of us is its realistic and wonderful graphics, stellar voice acting/animation and the feeling that grips you tight of how close you get to the two main characters in the game. There is certainly a emotional link to them throughout your adventure, and in time it will only grow. the combat system in the game is for the most part very smooth and fluid-like, you can sprint, jog, vault, take cover, sneak etc which all helps to take out your enemies in a stealthy manner or in a brutal, satisfying way. The game does from a story point of view pulls you right in and doesn't let go. It is a mix of survival horror/action adventure with both elements ever so subtle and seamless in their exchange. The aiming in the game is quite bothersome and has a lot of natural sway on the reticle, which can be reduced slightly by finding supplements and herbs to upgrade it with. The level design in the game is top notch, It is very diverse and with that allows you utter freedom to play the game how you want. The story line is very simple but expertly well done. And the ending in my opinion is truly satisfying and well scripted. The attention to detail with the graphics is outstanding, everything is so ironically full of life and colour, the water effects excel with everything i have ever seen. I do however have some minor gripes, but due to being so minor that they do not affect my final score, but there are infrequent graphical bugs, with items disappearing and entire parts of the game as well, but there are seldom seen and only last barely a second. And you can only alter the sensitivity of both analog sticks rather than individually change them. Also the cover mechanic is automated and sometimes you simply cannot stick to a certain wall and on occasion has given my position away. And i do also wish the survival skill system was more abundant in which you had more choice on given gameplay aspects like vaulting and running speed, melee moves, etc. The enemies are fantastic within the game and choose random paths, are quite perceptive and just generally fun to take out. The game has a multiplayer mode which has several modes and about 11 maps, the survival skills, crafting system, weapons, and gameplay mechanics are borrowed from the campaign, which is a good thing. It always for a slow paced and tense experience, certain mechanics are tweaked to allow for a more smoother and balanced play. And is generally a lot of fun, and the one of few multiplayers in which i have enjoyed and dedicated a lot of my time to. But with all the praise, the main reason i love this game is the colourful cast of characters and the emotionally driven storyline. Its a pure gem of a game and one that ill be playing for some years, a masterpiece. Expand

    What can i say,is this the best game of the year?yes it is!the best game of ps3?i think that too...i could buy an ps3-ps4 just to play this game,considering how much money u can spend just to play on ultra graphics a game on PC...
    Anyway,i think its the first time a give a 10/10 in a game...now that i have played 3 times and considering the multiplayer,i would give it a 8 or 9/10,but i think we have to judge the games for what is our first reaction with it so a solid 10/10 it is...!

I'm sure there are a ton of PS4 owners who didn't buy the original because they didn't own a PS3. There are likely many PS4 owners who came from owning the Xbox 360. Or were only PC gamers. Or sold their PS3 to pre-order the PS4. Or any number of possibilities. You review the game on it's merits. Not because you, personally, played through the original and want to write a review for only those people who owned the original.

It sounded good so I went on ahead into buying it, which was a choice I did not regret after playing it.

    First I'll mention the cons then pros. The only con really has got to be the Ai during some encounters since they could get quite ridiculous at times, but which game was able to create perfect Ai, so I'll let this slide along with a small glitch I was able to find where you'll be able to kill yourself.

    The controller does a great job being apart of the game such has the hp light, the flashlight, and hearing audio recorders. The guns play out great whether you're shooting someone or getting shot by somebody which brings such a terrified feeling, well if you're on grounded difficulty (Hardest). The infected are scary as well when you're having to sneak by a bunch of clickers who can instantly kill you if they grab you. This game feels to real while playing.

    The multiplayer is fun, it does something different while progressing and highly relies on teamwork.

    Overall everything else I didn't mention is perfect! Great Job Naughty Dog, I'm looking forward to what else you'll bring.

Once the game got going and the story kicked in I was completely hooked and I just needed to know what was going to happen next. There are certain parts of the game that leave you feeling genuinely upset, others leave you terrified and others make you feel a rush of happiness that you will never have felt in a game before. I know it sounds trite and cliche'd but that is how this game made me feel. The inclusion of the DLC Left Behind is brilliant as well and really add to the story.

    My only gripe would be the inclusion of the Photo Mode being applied to L3. I ended up switching photo mode off because I was fed up with being in a close quarters fight and the action stopping in Photo Mode as I'd pressed L3 by mistake. Very annoying!

    I would sum it up as a game with the stealth of Metal Gear Solid, the FPS of Killzone, graphics of no other game I have ever played and a story so deep and powerful that I'm slightly disappointed that I've finished it and know what happens at the end.

    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.
