    It’s okay, not bad or Amazing. Definitely a little over hyped. It was my first PS exclusive game and it was a little disappointing but still well worth the play.

    Спасибо за 1080 рублей и 60 фпс, игру нужно было выпускать именно на этот консоли, был бы систем-селлер, демонстирующий мощь консоли и то, какого качества игры будут на ней.

    При этом, это буквальна игра из разряда "на 1 раз, больше не интересно", но для такой игры она довольно хорошо справляется с кинематографичностью для своих лет.

    Solid game but worse than Jak. Poor gameplay variety (all you do is walk and fight). Good story and environments.

    Not much to say really, it is the last of us its amazing. Story is great, characters are great, world building is great but the game play was a bit on the average side and bored me most of the time.

    The story is definitely worth playing, and the title itself on the list of games is a mustplay. However, I don't think the gameplay is anything special. The system of collecting raw materials and obtaining weapons from them does not appeal to me with its simplicity. The stealth nature of the game seems boring to me.

    It is a movie you "play" through. Only choice you can make is to go guns blazing or sneaking past. No choices in the story, no choices in where you go. It is ok-ish, but not nearly a top game at all.

    I truthfully couldn't figure out why this game has such high scores. And the only reason I can find is that people must have loved the story. It's a good game. Don't get me wrong. But what makes this game deserve a 7/10? Well for starters, the item base is very limited. Yes I understand it is a survival game, but more options would be nice. Also there aren't many enemy types.

    This game is not great, not bad, but just good. All the people that give this game a 10 don't own the game and just wasted the presentation. Because that was pretty awesome.

All the people that give this game a 10 don't own the game and just wasted the presentation. Because that was pretty awesome. The real game though is a serious letdown from what was promised. In the presentation, the A.I. was 100 times smarter than it is now. They said and showed that the A.I. would act different in different situations. For exemple, if an enemy was the last one in the building, they would run for their lives until they are save behind cover, throw something at you to weaken you and then attack you. In the game, they just run at you like some raging headless chicken. Also, when you're holding a gun, and the enemy has a melee weapon, they would sit behind a cornor waiting for you, so they can ambush you. What really happens is, again, they are just raging headless chickens coming at you with their weapon.

    After 5 hours I got SO tired of the 'Hey, let me boost you up' or 'Help me open this door' or 'Help me push this in front of the door' bs. This really slows the already slow gameplay. What also bothered me were the so called 'puzzels'... Just searching some piece of wood so Ellie can jump on it to get her to the other side. Nothing else, just that.

    Returning to the story, this is a story made for a movie, not a video game. I don't want to watch a total of 3 hours+ cutscenes, or just walking around with Ellie for 10 minutes, solve a 'puzzle' (getting her on a piece of wood), fight some dudes/infected, cutscene, puzzle, dudes/infected, repeat, repeat, repeat. Boring as a video game, good for a movie, with some changes.

    I had been interested in checking out this game since it first came out, but I only got my first Playstation ever a few weeks ago, so I had no way to do so until recently, and, well, I'm a little disappointed.

    Don't get me wrong, the things people praise about this game are every bit as good as I'd heard, this game has excellent writing and voice acting, Ellie and Joel's relationship is edifying to watch unfold and to discuss, but there's just something that's "missing" in the link between storytelling and gameplay mechanics that's difficult for me to get over.

    When I say there's something "missing," what I mean to say, is there's no connection between storytelling and gameplay at all. This game is like a Skinner box, but with a bunch of extra steps. You go through an area with some very light, often times tedious puzzle solving that usually boils down to "find the thing and move the thing that lets you jump over the other thing," or "find the thing that lets you open the thing," interspersed with a ton of moments comprised of "kill every dude in the area who isn't you," before you're rewarded with another cutscene, and I can't count how many times I found myself disappointed the minute a cutscene ended and the gameplay began, because it meant another solid 30-60 minutes of trudging through not particularly great gameplay to get rewarded with another cutscene.

    That brings me to my second major issue with this game: the gameplay, on its own, really just isn't that good. As I mentioned earlier, it is almost entirely broken up into two kinds of sequences, 1) wandering around a small area to find the thing that let's you get past the obstacle, or 2) killing every dude on the map who isn't you, and that's it. It's interspersed with some exciting moments, like a moment where you're trying to push start a truck while finding off clickers, or a moment where you're defending Ellie from Clickers while she tries to free you from a trap that has you suspended upside-down, but these moments are few and far between gameplay that is, overall, bog standard, and does absolutely nothing to enhance the narrative through its mechanics, you simply just do a few objectives using mechanics that have little to with the narrative, so you can be rewarded with some new cutscenes, and that's about it. And all of that doesn't even get into the dozens of odd moments where the gameplay and story are completely at odds with each other in quite baffling ways. For example, there's a scene where a dude is on top of you trying to drown you, and then Ellie shoots him to save you, then later in the game, there's a moment where Joel is rationalizing her action to save you, telling her not to worry about the fact that she just killed a man, since it was either "him or me [Joel]," but it makes absolutely no sense that Joel would need to cauterize that one particular action in that one particular moment, considering the fact that Ellie has already helped you kill well over twenty people in the gameplay, which just reinforces the fact that the gameplay and story departments working on this game had little to no crossover with each other. The narrative tells you one story, about Ellie losing her innocence to a harsh, unforgiving world, but in the gameplay, there's no resistance or struggle or pushback at all to Joel killing scores and scores of nameless, faceless, storyless dudes all for the sake of advancing to the next cutscene.

    All and all, The Last of Us is a real shame, because the acting and writing are truly very good, but the narrative just gets put on hold during gameplay sequences that have barely have anything to do with the narrative, and do nothing at all to enhance the narrative, and I find it disappointing that what has been almost universally lauded as one of the greatest video games ever made has a story that does nothing to take advantage of the fact that it is an interactive medium and capable of telling you a story through mechanical interactions.

    I'm not going to call this game "overrated" because I do truly understand why this game emotionally resonated with so many people, but I'm still disappointed all the same and I really wish I had loved this game more than I did.

I did think the areas you travelled through were quite nice, but not as nice as some other places Naughty Dog has taken me to. Maybe I was expecting something mind-blowing because of the hype or I played this too late after it had been released. Either way, good but not great. I'll still be giving TLOU2 a go which I might actually enjoy more knowing Joel doesn't play such a significant part. Expand

    The first thing to note is that the game is surprinsingly short (Hard playthrough) - The absence of uniquely crafted set pieces points towards the fact that the game might have had a lower budget than previous naughty dog productions. Gameplay wise, you are looking at a competent stealth action game, but that does nothing new to advance the genre.

    The first thing to note is that the game is surprinsingly short (Hard playthrough) - The absence of uniquely crafted set pieces points towards the fact that the game might have had a lower budget than previous naughty dog productions. Gameplay wise, you are looking at a competent stealth action game, but that does nothing new to advance the genre.

    Let's be clear, as far as stealth options are concerned, you get to chose between throwing a brick, or a bottle, that's it. There are no exciting environmental opportunities to leverage, no interesting situational obstacles to deal with, and boredom sets in as, you deal with fairly identical situations, over, and over. Think of Uncharted, with extra boring interruptions, walking sections, and with the fun action bits removed. They also got rid of the puzzles too since you now get to play with bricks and ladders.

    The crafting and looting is competently handled, but there is really nothing in terms of gadgets or skill tree worth praising above and beyond the competition.

    And that's my problem, in the light of all of these observations, it is difficult for me to accept the praise the game has garnered. Maybe an exceptional scenario and plot could have justified the praises, but considering how cliche and predictable the story is, it is that much more difficult to reconcile myself with its critical success.

    Yes, the acting, music, presentation and production value is a cut above the competition, but as far as 2013 release games, I can think of so many games that easily outclass The last of us in terms of game and level design, pacing, mechanics, and player agency. Games such as Tomb raider, Blacklist, GTAV, not only do more, but they do it better - and if we wanted to draw a comparison with a game that more closely resembles the last of us, Spec ops: The line is the more successful of the two in realizing both its game-play and story-telling ambitions.

    The last of us remains a moderately enjoyable game, it does have a few saving graces in terms of scenario and game-play (like the hunting sandbox at the beginning of the winter chapter), but it is far too repetitive and limited in scope to be considered anything above the best the competition has to offer. It is also worth noting that 2 of Resident evil 4's most memorable, fun, and iconic game-play moments were "borrowed" by Naughty dog, though not as well executed as in Capcom's masterwork.

    As a videogame, The last of us only truly excels at mimicking what has previously been done better on film and TV, yet does very little in terms of intelligent design, and interactive story telling.

    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.

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...

    PS3 version was one of the best games of 2013 (Bioshock Infinite, Tomb Raider beat it for me). I had hopes for the PS4 version to shine ... but was disappointed. The 'remaster' didn't change much including graphics.
    If you played it on PS3, don't bother with this one. If you did not, then definitely get this game. Would score a solid 8 if a new game.

    Good looking game with a fairly intimate, character driven story set in a redundant post-apocalypse that gets off to an interesting start.

    The gameplay becomes repetitive fast, and ranges from boring to tedious; ultimately boiling down to extreme resource management, guess-work, and stealth, with occasional quicktime events and cut-scenes.

    Although it gives the appearance of a realistic open environment, it is actually extremely linear. You are almost always forced through strict, unintuitive corridors with only one way to progress.

    There are dozens of obvious openings, walk-arounds, things to climb, and paths in the environment that should be easy to traverse, which are blocked by invisible walls.

    The girl can't swim, so go get the inevitable wooden plank hidden around the corner and bring it back for her to cross. Ad nauseam.

    The AI is completely ridiculous and often immersion-breaking. The two generic enemy types --humans and clickers-- both just walk aimlessly around the environment in patterns akin to the 8-bit era, apparently doing nothing at all in totally random locations -- that happen to perfectly block your only path.

    What is intended to build tension ends up feeling forced and frustrating.

    What little action there is is hampered by archaic mechanics, and brazenly unimaginative enemy difficulty scaling. For example, if the same enemy you've encountered dozens of times suddenly happens to be wearing a generic construction hardhat, they will take two or three extra shots, no matter where you hit them. Even if you clearly shoot them in the face. There is no acknowledgement of accuracy, each enemy is just one giant hit-box, so there is essentially no point in aiming, very unsatisfying.

    The gameplay is so stale that comparisons to The Walking Dead tv show are inescapable and likely to leave players wondering why they're even bothering with the under-utilized Dual Shock controller instead of just watching another so-so zombie tale.

    For a AAA title, it is easy to appreciate some of the risks this game takes, focusing on character arcs, mood, storytelling, and an attempted sense of immersion in a bleak, realistic world; unfortunately it is hard to ignore the weak gameplay which undermines its loftier intentions.

    The Last of Us actually makes much more sense in its TellTale Games spinoff interactive comic format. On the PS4, remastered, it is barely a step above interactive movie, and not significantly improved from its original PS3 release.

    Not bad, but not much fun to play. Extremely overrated.

Melee that glitches out with really shoddy camera angles.

    Seriously NFW Joel should be dead round about the horse section, but no spoilers, so... I liked the Joel character enough, but Ellie the swearing edgy mary sue teen character not so much. Another teen character is in the game and I was convinced that they was just a teen not going on forty like Ellie. Hyped game, scripted idiocy, unconvincing character development on the Ellie part, shoddy gameplay mechanics.

    It is meh gameplay to ok story, but nothing really at all special. If this got two hundred noted gaming awards? Then the era of the dedicated gamer is over and now it is the rein of the casual media consumer.

    The weak point of the game is the gameplay, it is completely forgettable. And it's not that the mechanics are broken, the problem is that it is structured in a way that it feels like a small part of the game, the story always has the focus of the devs, it feels like you're "playing" episodes of a TV show. By the end of the game, when the story has already hooked you up, playing feels like a sort of "work" just to see the story moving forward.

    I STRONGLY recommend not buying it; just borrow it, or use PSNow. It's the kind of game that after playing it one single time, you'll never touch it again. The game lives from its story and after knowing it, it loses absolutely all appeal.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Brought this because of the hype, but I am disappointed. Game play is incredibly linear. It mainly consists of go here, kill everybody/all the monsters in the area, repeat. The story/character
    development so far has been the biggest disappointment, the story basically being the young girl may be the key to a cure, take her to someone who can help develop a cure. That's not a plot we've seen in a thousand movies/games before, is it now? That's it. Characters? He's grumpy, she's mouthy. That's about all you can say about them.

    It basically plays like a telltale walking dead game, but with less choice/character development/story, much better graphics and annoying combat sections.

    Also, why kill all the humans you meet, even the ones who never act aggressively towards you until they catch you sneaking around, trying to kill them? One group are in a hotel, clearing out monsters. Are they good or bad? Who knows, just wipe them out. Often, just sneaking through to the exit isn't an option.

    I'll probably put it on easy and play to the end, but I'm not impressed so far.

    the game is full of technical issues, broken AI; immersion-breaking logic and mechanics, the story is literally every zombie movie ever, nothing really very original.
    The sets designs are amazingly detailed and the models look real good, the acting is great, but im playing a game not watching a movie.
    The sequel is much much better.

    I cannot understand how this game became GOTY. It's a good game, or at least decent. Graphics, sounds, narrative, customization etc is quite good, but it has so much potential wasted.

    For some reason, I couldn't really get into this game as much as I wanted to. The story was good but I found myself getting bored of repeated, similar encounters and getting lost on occasion. I personally didn't really get into the story until the final third. The hint system was a nice touch for someone like me who does get lost easily and I think more games should have this option.

    At the time I thought the ending painted Joel as the anti-hero but playing it again in 2020 and watching the first ten minutes of that game I changed my feelings. The game tells a very simple "Dad video game" plot though very ahead of its time but might accidentally be saying something profound about the failure of systemic leadership.

    Anyway, the beginning really set up the ending but I am not sure if it is intentional because the writing in this game is so bad. I think at the time before Uncharted 4 I appreciated that they were trying to fix the ludo narrative dissonance by making everyone a murder sociopath in a murder world. Compared to Uncharted it seemed clever but ultimately it is pretty shallow.

    The audio and visuals still hold up. The guns sound good and the narrow corridor level design does look really nice, even if you can see its Crash Bandicoot roots.

    I liked it enough then, I still like it now, but other than all the time and money spent on the audio and visuals and animations and VO, it really never really rises as something special, just expensive.

    TLOU remembers me what i like the most in a video game, but not because it is good on doing it, but because it refuses to do so. If you check my top rated games, all of them have something in common with each other: They do things in a way only video games can lead to, they narratives and mechanics can only work if on a video game.

    If it weren’t for the dumpster fire that was The Last Of Us 2, I’d give this game a 9 or 10 easily. Unfortunately, Neil Druckman had his head so far up his ass that not only did he botch that game so terribly, he also destroyed this one by extension. This game has unfortunately been destroyed by TLOU 2 so terribly that it’s not even worth playing if you haven’t already.

The AI of the enemies is downright awful, and lots of programming errors. The melee combat is terrible, lacks basic things like parry and counter, which is non-existent. Once the enemy gets near enough to you, it grabs you and you can do absolutely nothing, which is very frustrating and very fake.
    Some weapons are under-powered (guns) that you need 4 shoots sometimes to kill enemies and some are overpowered (bow) which can kill enemies in one shoot. I mean, really?
    The story is also nowhere near as being as good as some claim. it lacks a lot of depth and has a lot of incongruences.
    A very good idea of a game that has some good parts, but overall could have been better executed.
    I'd take Uncharted 2 from ND over this any day of the week.

С самого начала и на протяжении всей игры Джоэл, его подружка, имя которой я уже забыл, и Элли убивают тупых безымянных компьютерных болванчиков. Где тут 9 из 10? Не понятно. У меня не было абсолютно никакого сопереживания главным героям, потому что я не чувствовал никакой реальной угрозы. Ну, просто какие-то боты их атакуют, вообще на них плевать, так же, как и на Джоэла. Да, мне плевать на него и мне не жалко, что его убили во второй части. С самого начала и до конца. В начале они убили какого-то Роберта. Что за роберт? Не понятно, сценаристы говорят "а, плевать чо за Роберт. Вот он должен нашим "героям" пушки, поэтому он достоин смерти". Во-первых, мне плевать на этого Роберта, во-вторых, кто он такой? Очередной бот. В-третьих, Джоэл и его подружка убили его, как сходили посрать. И После убийства Джоэл такой спокойно говорит "что будем делать дальше?", ну, реально, как-будто только что из толчка вышел. Человека убил.
    Каннибалы-педофилы вообще притянутая за уши херня. Всю игру "герои" убивали безымянных картонных болванчиков, а потом нарисовались какие-то каннибалы. Как-будто сценаристы сказали друг другу "Нам нужен напряжённый финал, о давайте каннибалов нарисуем из воздуха... ага, а еще пусть они будут педофилами. Да, давай." И нюхнули очередную порцию коки. Бред. Вообще никаких эмоций не вызвали эти каннибалы.
    И Третий пункт - это телепортирующаяся глаза Цикад, женщина с ранением в живот, которая магическим образом оказалась в больнцие раньше, наших героев. Бред.
    Ну, про бредовый выбор Джоэла спасти Элли я даже писать не буду. В общем, игра на 6 из 10 максимум, и то не знаю, зачем я балл накинул, и не поставил 5 из 10, как совершенно средней, проходной игре.

    el Videojuego desde mi punto de vista, tiene diversos fallos, sobretodo con esta versión presentada.

    la historia es buena, desempeñada de una forma que se siente como un verdadero apocalipsis donde la sociedad cayo en si misma.

    mis problemas con este juego son:
    jugabilidad
    doblaje

    Jugabilidad
    en los momentos donde su gameplay era frenético, en combates, era fluido, fácil de manejar. pero este, cuando se volvia en escenarios pasivos, funcionaba de mala forma, ya que el personaje, en esos momentos, no avanza fácilmente, ya que parece que este, se atrapa en el suelo en cada momento de estos.

    doblaje
    tomando en cuenta el idioma original, esta bien, pero cuando entramos a la variedad, la emoción de tener el juego decae, al ver que este mismo, esta regionalizado de forma excesiva.
    lo que quiero decir, es que se incluyen 4 idiomas en la versión americana.
    el problema cayendo, que por ejemplo, el español es con diferencia, el peor doblaje de la lista, incluso si se llega a comparar con otros juegos, pero sin posibilidad de probar el español castellano, al no estar incluido en dicha versión.
    esto afecta mas a la experiencia de juego, ya que en el doblaje americano del español, no se puede tomar enserio ninguna situación que se presenta, y también, que hay personas que no les gusta este doblaje especifico, viéndose forzadas a jugar en ingles, u otro idioma.

    1. Главные герои. Химия Элли и Джоэла, как и они сами, очень интересны и увлекательны в игре, отлично раскрываясь по ходу прохождения.
    2. Дизайн локаций. Я всегда любил зеленые постапокалипсисы, и первая тлоу не исключение.
    3. Графика. На свое время она была очень хороша, да и сейчас она порой создает фотогеничные пейзажи.
    4. Музыка. Густаво Сантаолалья - гениальный гитарист, его саундтреки это нечто.
    Минусы:
    1. Геймплей. Он ОЧЕНЬ скучный, спустя 2 часа игры я уже зевал и начинал засыпать.
    2. Сюжет. Его везде подают как лучший сюжет десятилетия, но в том же порицаемом контроле он был куда интересней и живей. Достаточно стандартная история родителей и детей.
    3. Второстепенные персонажи. Они все скучные, у них нет искры или харизмы.
    4. Геймдизайн. Его интуитивность - около нулевая.
    5. Стелс. Стелса тут много, а проработан он скучнейшим образом и сам сделан достаточно странно.

    Вердикт - самый переоцененный эксклюзив ПС4.

    Now, just by that, I wouldn't give this game the score that I have given it, if it weren't for the fact that this game is praised as one of if not the best videogame of all time. I get it, the story is great, I get that, but, are the other aspects of the game make it deserve this kind of treatment?
    As mentioned before, the visuals are great. Really represents the tone of the game.
    The gunplay though, feels uninspired. Don't get me wrong, it's good, but nothing new.
    Some mechanics like the ladders and the enhanced "hearing" are good additions to make the game stand out.
    All in all, this game is not bad, but I believe, that it does not deserve all the praise it has gotten.

ND claims that wanted to break molds with the characters, but at the end of the day, you're playing yet another white guy, protecting a damsel in distress. The gameplay: it sucks. This is not a fun game. Very clumsy 3rd person shooter with lots of realism mechanics thrown in, like staggering when you get hit, limited ammo, and spastic enemy animations that make it hard to hit them. There's some lazy stealth thrown in, which consists of you shuffling around cover and being told you are hidden, even though the top of your head is clearly visible to the AI. There's some crafting and a small skill tree thrown into the mix, but they don't add much. Other games have done it before, and in a more fun way. This game was one huge chunk of Oscar-bait. Everything about it screams "look at us, we're so thought provoking and serious". It feels forced and unnatural, like they want their game to be considered art. Along the way, they forgot that they were making a game, which is supposed to be fun. As such, as a game, TLOU is a complete failure. Expand

I believe there's no better example for this as The Last of Us, a title that got tens all around and was praised for its supposedly incredible storyline. Even though I had experienced several sections of the game on a friend's PS3, the PS4 was my first chance to try it for real, and I walked away sorely unimpressed.

    First of all, I fully admit to getting kind of worried whenever a title gets praised more for its story than its actual gameplay. It's the latter that will always matter the most in a game for me, and in this regard The Last of Us is passable at best, extremely forgettable at worst. It consists of a series of linear, quick-time-event-heavy, cover-based shooting stages that get repetitive really fast, with only mild incentives for any kind of exploration.

    Even though the game does feature a lot of actual cutscenes, its gameplay sections are made in such a way that main character Joel is always talking and interacting with other people somehow. I admit I can see how some people would enjoy this playable-movie vibe, but it's definitely not my thing. Often I would just get annoyed when a cutscene would end, just because I knew it meant I'd have to start actually playing. This made me start holding the opinion that The Last of Us would be better suited as, you know, an actual movie rather than a game.

    Speaking of which: yeah, there's a cool story here, with some well-written emotional gut-punches. But unlike what I've read around the web, it's absolutely nowhere near the level of the true storytelling masterpieces of our time, from A Song of Ice and Fire to Breaking Bad to The Sopranos (and yes, I've seen comparisons to all of those). Maybe that's because the script just feels like a known quantity in the time we live in: it has a post-apocalyptic setting (check), a hardened man getting to terms with his own emotions (check), zombie-thingies (check), dialogue sections filled with wise cracks that aren't all that fresh (check). It was just too 'been there, done that' for me, even with the emotional turns, and as a result I never really felt the father-daughter relationship between the main characters as apparently most people have.

    It may be one of those cases in which a game is just not for me, especially because I fully admit I've never been that interested in post-apocalyptic settings and its tropes. Still, just trying to analyse The Last of Us from a detached standpoint, I fail to see why it's had such an extremely enthusiastic reception. I wouldn't say it's a flat-out bad game, but there are numerous realistic-style titles with more fluid and satisfying gameplay, there are numerous non-games with better stories, and it is my honest opinion that this is not one of those cases in which the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

    I think this is the kind of game that everyone should at least try, if only just to see what the fuss is all about. If your gaming tastes are anywhere close to mine, however, you'll probably get entertained for a while, then start seriously considering just searching for a cutscene compilation on Youtube instead.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TLOU is the most overrated game in gaming history, nothing about it is above a 5. The ambiance is generic Half-Life 2 meets Zombies (go play HL2 and tell me the whole camp/atmosphere doesn't feel like a complete rip), the store is generic zombie virus outbreak with nothing new, the characters are bland, the game play is boring, and the puzzles can be solved by my dog (my literal dog who has paws which you would think would make the puzzles challenging but nah).

    I could go on and break down every part of this travesty of a game, but I'll ask 1 simple question which I know none of the people that loved this game asked.

    Why did the soldier shoot your daughter?

    There is no reason that at the beginning of the outbreak, when no one could possibly know what is going on, the soldier would have fired upon you or that the soldier's commander would have ordered it. Remember this outbreak wasn't something that had been ongoing for a long time, this just happened straight up in the night, and because of it the military was mobilized. Hell even if they knew something crazy was going on the military doesn't just shoot civilians, especially considering that soldier was as green as they come (probably national guard). That whole dramatic scene makes no sense once you think about it and the same can be said for pretty much everything else after that.

    Run down guy who double crossed you and viciously beat/murder him, but rebel lady threatens you and suddenly you're all soft now? Yeah that's not how real life works.

    Random girl holds the key to ending the outbreak but suddenly your character decides she's more important to him personally so they run off? F humanity right? So all the daughters in the world will suffer and die but generic male character number 1 doesn't care cause he's got one of his own right here. (That's super creepy btw)

    The story is completely full of logical fallacies that the "10ers" clearly did not stop to actually think about. But fine, I expect that from most people, so hows the game play?

    Well do you like stealth games that do the stealth well, say Splinter Cell?

    Yeah well the stealth in this game is garbage.

    Do you like games that have interesting level design and allow you to chose your timing vs enemies when using stealth?

    Too bad, you're always a ledge drop away from not being able to back track and thus being stuck in a room with ZOMBIES THAT CANNOT CLIMB SO IF YOUR CHARACTER GOT HIS HEAD OUT OF HIS ASS HE WOULD JUST ALERT THE ZOMBIES FROM UP HIGH AND KILL THEM ALL WITHOUT ISSUE BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO your character is too damn stupid to actually develop a strategy vs zombies that makes any sense.

    Do you like weapons?

    Ha! No weapons for you! You get shivs, really poorly crafted shivs and if you don't have those you're pretty much f'ed because lord knows in a post apocalyptic wasteland there's never any knives to be had. God forbid your character ever gets an actual melee weapon.

    Hey remember those spore puffs that can infect people? Yeah they only do that when the plot needs them too, otherwise your character pretty much just ignores them after the first scene with them.

    Look...

    You want a game with great story?
    Go play Knights of the Old Republic

    You want a game with great stealth?
    Go play Splinter Cell Conviction

    You want a game with great combat?
    Go play Battlefield 3

    You want a game with great crafting?
    Go play Space Engineers

    You want a game with great tactics/strategy?
    Go play Xcom/Xcom 2

    You want a game with great level design?
    Go play Deus Ex Human Revolution

    You want a great zombie game?
    Go play Dying Light
    Why yes I do play a wide verity of games and have been playing games for a good chunk of time now. Regardless, my point is that TLOU does nothing better than anyone else or even close and if you think it does, go play these other games and see what actual great games are. TL:DR - Go play something else, this game isn't worth your time and if this is the first game you've ever played please play something on my list before you rate this game and see for yourself how absolutely mediocre TLOU is.

    Played this game at a friends after having owned the PS3 version. While the graphics are updated over the PS3 version, it's still the same "interactive movie". I found the game to be boring on the PS3 and don't see where this is any better. If all you care about is graphics, then you're good.

    The game has been always said to be a masterpiece, and I truly never understood why. 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.

    I didn't play it on PS3, only on PS4. I give it low score because maybe I expected too much after hearing how amazing this game is, but for me it wasn't that great. Little borring and predictable.

Controls were smooth and graphics were good. I guess the main thing I really didn't care for in the game was the fact that you are constantly having to find ammo/survivor gear. I understand it's a survival game but seriously, it's a little ridiculous how much time you actually have to spend finding stuff. Even when I upgraded my weapons and used my ammo only when i needed I still ran out. The graphics were great and the music was good as well. Despite the problems I have with the game I can see why people enjoy it. I'm just a little picky when it comes to my games. Personally, I wish I would have rented it instead of buying. Expand

    The Last of Us' well written script masks its very tedious and repetitive gameplay. The game works like this: you kill zombies, you kill people. Rinse, repeat. Would not mind seeing this released as a movie, but as a game, it needed some kind of variation to keep my interest.

    This game is just as enjoyable, as pulling my teeth.. The controls are a bit sluggish, the story is a boring version of the already boring walking dead... I know it's a survival horror, but still don't understand what's all the hype... I want my money back... Naught dog should have made a crash bandicoot 4 instead...

    Honestly kind of a disappointment.

    The voice acting is fantastic, graphically the game looks okay. But the gameplay is just to painfully repetetive. Swim around looking for a pallet, get Ellie to step on the pallet, bring Ellie across some water. This continues all the way to the end. And honestly, I didn't care about any of the characters in the end. The AI got dumbed down since the E3

But with the PS4 the AI could have been even smarter than the one in E3. But this "Remaster" offers nothing but slighty improved graphics and 60fps. I really hope this isn't Naughty Dog's next series.

Just because the story is dark and it's an emotional game, doesn't mean the gameplay shouldn't be. I think the only reason why a lot of people like this, me included is because of the voice acting and how real the characters are. But as a game, it doesn't offer much in the gameplay department. I would still recommend this game nonetheless as it's a great experience the first time but loses it magic if you replay it. Expand

    The "survival horror" parts, e.g. unfair instakill clickers in a ****** awful dark, spory basement somewhere, trillion bandits coming all over really brings down the experience.

    No offense to TLOU fans but I thought this game is WAAYYY ****** overrated.

    The "survival horror" parts, e.g. unfair instakill clickers in a ****** awful dark, spory basement somewhere, trillion bandits coming all over really brings down the experience. I must have killed like a small city's worth of humans and zombies. How do these many people gather in gangs and how do they function as a coherent unit? Where do they find the food? How do they not kill each other?

    It feels awfully boring and frustrating and repetitive whenever your character just falls off a ladder or a hole in the ground IN A CUTSCENE without you controlling it, just so there is more tension, more bulletsponge zombies, more bandits you have to fight through.

    There is literally nothing new in the gameplay, and the movement actually is a drag - you can't sprint, you can't jump, you are not at all agile, can't even turn around quickly. The shooting is the same as Uncharted.

    The Left Behind DLC started out promising but turned out to be more of the same - waves upon waves upon waves of zombies and bandits. Like, who the **** are these people? Why the **** do they care so much about Ellie and Joel that they go out of their way into zombie infested areas???

    Finally: the puzzles are terrible. Find a piece of wood to carry Elllie over water (dive and you will find something). Find a ladder to climb up - but we really hid it well this time! Oh, this time you will find a plank - just come on and get it over with.

    Overall, I just really got through this game because everyone says it is a classic - but it's just Uncharted and worse, in a zombie cover - with the story beats from Children of Men, the Road and Old Man Logan. I don't get the "fantastic" and "riveting" part. Did the people think the story is that great? I mean, it's basically Old Man Warms Up To Little Girl Over Time While There Are Enemies Around And Once Again The Humans Are Worse Than Zombies.

The multiplayer on the other hand is a visceral and unrewarding experience and not one that I found enjoyable in the slightest. The various events that can wipe out your accumulated survivors unless certain criteria are met are just ridiculous, but for me, the executions are just too much to handle. The multiplayer is dominated by veterans and the matchmaking always seems to throw a few into the game on each side. Weapon upgrades are lost with each new round so each match seems to reduce to gathering enough supplies to buy upgrades or make items in order to stand a chance. I've only the two online trophies to get but grinding for them has just ruined the whole experience of this game.

    I just wonder why this Uncharted's footlicker got so high scores.

    Oynanis
    İste butun olay burada. Bu oyunun oynanisi cok kotu ve sikici. Naughty Dog soyle bir sey yapmis; normalde olmasi gereken silah kullanma mekaniklerini daha kotu yapmis ve karakter gelisimiyle onlari olmasi gereken hale getirmenizi istemis. Soyle ki; oyunun basinda nisan aldiginizda imlec o kadar sallaniyor ki siz imleci hedefe dogrultmaya calisirken imlec tam tersi yonde gidiyor. Nisan almak icin L2 ye bastigimda imlecin baslangic noktasi o kadar sacma sapan yerlerde oluyor ki nisan almak iyice eziyet haline donusuyor. İmlecin odaklandiginda capinin kuculmesinin zamanlamasi cok sacma anlarda oluyor ornegin ben daha imleci adamin vucuduna dogru kaydirirken odaklanmis oluyor adamin vucuduna getirdigimdeyse odak kayboluyor. Normalde soyle olmasi gerekmiyor mu: ben bir noktaya nisan aldigimda once karakter odaklanir ve imlec kuculur eger cok uzun sure ayni noktada tutarsam imleci bu sefer odak kaybolur ve imlec buyur ve ben ates ettigimde tutturma ihtimalim azalir. İste Last Of Us ates etme mekaniklerini en basindan olmasi gerektigi gibi yapmayip karakter gelisimiyle olmasi gereken hale getirilmesini istemis ve bu oynanisa zenginlik katmamis aksine oynanisin sig olmasina ve oyundan alinabilecek zevkin baltalanmasina sebep olmus.
    Oynanisin bir diger elementi olan gizlilik ise comel, arkadan yaklas ve hakla, dikkat dagitmak icin saga sola tas at, sise at gibi elementlerden olusuyor. Buradaki sorun ise karaktere arkadan yaklasip bogmaya kalktiginizda olan animasyonun sacma sapan uzunlugu ve bu olay oyunun icinde o kadar cok tekrar ediyor ki o animasyonun uzunlugu insani cileden cikartiyor. Gizlilikte dusman yapay zekasi ise yapay zeka gibi hissettirmiyor. Cunku bir karakteri gizlilikle oldurdugunuzde bir anda herkes sizin oldugunuz yere dogru yurumeye basliyor ve catismaya girmek kacinilmaz hale geliyor. Bu da gizlilikle ilerlemenin yalnizca vakit kaybi gibi hissettiriyor. Ancak catisarak ilerlediginizde ise cok fazla kaynak tukettiginiz icin ve oyunda butun malzemeler sayili oldugu icin oyun size bir nevi gizliligi zorunlu kiliyor. Ayrica bu gizlilik ve aksiyon kisimlari oyunun basindan sonuna ayni hicbir degisim gelisim yok. Oyunun en basinda ne yapiyorsaniz oyunun sonunda da onu yapiyorsunuz.
    Bu olay karakter gelisimi icin de gecerli. Mekaniksel olarak karakterinizin oyunun basinda sahip oldugu ozelliklerini iyilestiriyorsunuz; daha iyi nisan alma, dusmanlarin seslerini daha uzaktan duyabilme, daha cok can vs. Yani oyun size hicbir yenilik sunmuyor. Nasil basliyorsaniz o sekilde bitiriyorsunuz.
    Bu oyunda level design diye bir sey yok. Oyunda catismalarin gectigi mekanlarda fazladan en fazla bir ya da iki oda oluyor. Girdiginiz binalar hic dusunulmeden tasarlanmis dumduz yapilar. Oyun cizgisel oldugu icin diyebilirsiniz. Ancak alternatif rotalar olabilirdi.Oyunda gidecegim yere farkli odalardan gecerek ya da butun binayi cevreyi kesfederek gidebilirdim. Ancak kesfedebileceginiz alanlar cok kisitli ya da kesif gudusunu tamamiyle tatmin eden ya da tetikleyen bir yani yok. Kesfetmeyi yalnizca mecbur kaldiginiz icin yapiyorsunuz. Yakin dovusu oyun size son care olarak sunmus. Gizlilikle ve silahla oldurdugunuz dusmanlarin arasindan biri siyrilip size yaklasirsa onu yakin dovusle alabilin diye sunulmus. Burda da elinizde sopa olusunun demir olusunun ya da baska bir yakin dovus silahi olusunun hicbir onemi yok. Her birinin uzerinde kullanim bari var. Neredeyse her biriyle yalnizca bir dusmani oldurebiliyorsunuz. Ayrica yakin dovusle birini oldurmek cok uzun suruyor.
    Ayrica bulmacalar berbat. Bir de kare tusunu spamlama var. Bir dusmanla bogusurken oyun size kare spamlatiyor. Bir de bu oyunda 4 tane falan dusman tipi var herhalde.
    Hikaye
    Hikayenin tek guzel yani sonu. Onun disinda ovulecek bir yani varmis gibi gelmiyor. Ellie ve Joel arasindaki baba-kiz iliskisinin yolculuk boyunca ilerlemesini bekliyorsunuz ancak yol boyunca Joel sen benim kizim degilsin tavirlari takinirken bir anda degisiyor. Yani tek bir olayla bu iliski kuruluyor. Dolayisiyla o samimiyeti bir turlu yakalmiyorsunuz. En azindan ben yakalayamadim. Yalnizca oyunun sonunda Joel'in verdigi karar beni etkiledi.
    Sonuc olarak oyunun ne hikayesi beni etkiledi ne de karakterleri bana kendisini cok onemsetebildi. Sikici bir oynanisla da oyun bana giderek kendisini onemsiz hale getirdi.

    Recycled story, gameplay consists mostly of walking around building mashing a button to collect stuff you then use to craft in a 6-item menu. The stealth does pose a challenge at first, but with abundant ammo in mid-game, you just shotgun your way through most enemies.

    "ITS ABOUT TO GET REAL GOOD NOW!"

    game over

    Therefore I will not be playing or leaving a review for TLOU2

    Overrated as hell. Boring, bad gameplay, forgettable characters and flat story, with a empty ending. Why do people love this game? It's terrible.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When i started this game i was really expecting one of the best games of all time, because of all the praise this game gets. I am really disappointed.
    The Story is ordinary, a world that has be taken by a fungus, and the citizens become zombies. Them we have a few that survived and now is fighting for their lives. We have so many games with similar story.
    The characters has a good development, and this is the reason i give 4 to this game
    The IA is so stupid that broke the immersion of the game. Seeing Elie walking in the front of a enemy and none of they reacting at all is ridiculous. If the game has stupid zombies it's fine, but people beeing so stupid as zombies really broke the game.
    The Stealth is awful, as you throw a bottle near the enemy and has no reaction, but sometimes you throw and a guy from the otherside of the map comes to see what's happening, totally trash.
    The combat is bad either, with really simplistic movements, and repetitive.
    (SPOILER ALERT)
    The game ending is what i was hoping to be the savior of the game, but unfortunately wasn't.
    Seeing Joel rushing to a hospital full of fireflies, and killing all of then like he was Rambo, is laughable. The worse is that he alone kill practically a army and saves Ellie in the end of it. The story would be so more impacting if Ellie died to save the world. They could have shown it a few years later, the world rising up after healing came, showing Joel rising emotionally in a healed world. They could even make a new game showing this, but they didn't unfortunately

    Эту игру я впервые прошел в 2019 году.
    Все что я знал об это игре до этого - "10/10", "игра - шедевр", "игра десятилетия", "лучшая игра всех времен".... и прочие хвалебные отзывы, которые доносились изо всех щелей...
    И вот, когда я таки прошел игру сам, я понял, что я шедевра не чувствую. Не ощущаю той хваленой шедевральности, того "гениального" сюжета, о котором воняет весь интернет.

    И вот, когда я таки прошел игру сам, я понял, что я шедевра не чувствую. Не ощущаю той хваленой шедевральности, того "гениального" сюжета, о котором воняет весь интернет. Что эта игра если и была шедевром на момент выхода, то на данный момент игра таковым не является. Это просто средняя игра, на 1-2 раза.

    Лично меня эта игра ничем не зацепила, в ней средненький сюжет, средний саундтрек...

    Uno dei giochi piú overrated Mai esistiti.
    Gameplay vecchio, storia piena di buchi, un corridoio guidato dall'inizio Alla fine.
    Una delusione totale che, seppur fin troppo guidata e non priva di difetti, un pochino è riuscita a soddisfarmi nella sceneggiatura. Non lo ritengo un gioco sopra la media perchè gioco non è, è un film, una serie tv.
    Qui non si gioca, sì guarda e basta. Purtroppo.

    The story is very fun. The gameplay is uncharted but those sections where stealth is needed all the time. Story is around 8. Gameplay 7 because uncharted is just great. Skill builds are nice but so slow. They require you to play the story 10 times before you can actually upgrade fully. Seriously that is soooo damn boring i can see why its only a 2% trophy. Multiplayer is a joke. 60% of allThe story is very fun. The gameplay is uncharted but those sections where stealth is needed all the time. Story is around 8.

Seriously that is soooo damn boring i can see why its only a 2% trophy. Multiplayer is a joke. 60% of all skills are locked and must be paid cash for. Skills that really do make a god damn difference like autopicking up ammo or getting 3x more crafting items. Oh and weapons get used to the very few they give you. But that doesn't matter anyway just buy a tactical shotgun(can't get without cash sorry, infact you can't own any shotgun without paying) and its the only gun you need and the one everyone uses.

    скучный гемплей. коридорные уровни. ужасное количество условностей. бита и т.п ломается за пару ударов. оружие игрушечное. сюжет и мир детский и не правдоподобный. из плюсов графика для того времени.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The one thing I've come to absolutely hate in games is a terrible hit/aiming system. A game developer that is really good at creating terrible hit/aiming systems is Naughty Dog.

    I've played video games all my life. Love playing all different styles, but I can't stand when a game has poor mechanics. Most games do get repetitive and I understand that but Naughty Dog seriously has reskinned the Uncharted series and added in a slightly different story. Yes, the story is good, but what I kept asking myself is "who in their right mind thought this was actually fun or good in any way!?"

    So my major complaints are:
    1. Aim/hit system is seriously flawed and so frustrating. Not only do you have to go for head shots every time but if you don't hit certain enemies you're going to die. And the worst part is that ammo is so scarce you can't even take extra shots. It's extremely frustrating when you can't defend yourself because you didn't get the perfect shot off on an enemy.

    2. Mechanics. Ellie is constantly getting in your way and seems to do it conveniently when you're trying to run or do something quick. Go to turn around and your almost guaranteed to be pinned into a room because she literally is a shadow to you. Plus the climbing, moving planks/ladders/dumpsters is so cumbersome.

    3. Clickers are the worst. Generally in most games, characters gain abilities to better defend or attack enemies. Not in this game! Throughout, clickers can only be killed by head shots (oh they take 2 head shots by the way, which is awesome seeing as ammo is really hard to come by; see point 1) or by shiv. And, you have to make shivs.... Terrible. You would think that maybe, somewhere along the lines you would come across a knife that you always carry. Nope! Instead you have to find supplies over and over only to have them quickly depleted. Dumb...

    Played the Uncharted series and had similar thoughts. Having to empty whole clips into enemies to take them out with limited ammo is so frustrating unless you happen to get that perfect shot off. This is a WILDLY overrated peice of garbage. Naughty Dog, seriously, do something new. You clearly know how to craft great stories, but your gameplay leaves a lot to be desired. This game is unoriginal and repetitive throughout. Seriously, rent or borrow it before you buy.

    As a zombie fan and amazing story lover, I was looking forward to playing this one. But, I was disappointed.

    To put it simply: This is a great game for the average gamer who has never experienced a good story, and who doesn't mind plot holes. But for the story lovers and those of us who are looking for new experiences in video games, you might be disappointed. The gameplay is really
    As a zombie fan and amazing story lover, I was looking forward to playing this one. But, I was disappointed.

    To put it simply: This is a great game for the average gamer who has never experienced a good story, and who doesn't mind plot holes. But for the story lovers and those of us who are looking for new experiences in video games, you might be disappointed.

    The gameplay is really what this game is all about. Gameplay comes first and the story was built around it. And it's just a run-of-the-mill 3rd person action/stealth game, much like the Uncharted games, though there's more emphasis on inventory management and stealth in this game.

    During gameplay, you'll be going to a new area, killing everything that moves, and then going to the next area. Repeat that about 100 times to beat the game.

    What's worst about most of the gameplay is that it makes no sense story-wise. Why is it necessary to kill all other people I meet? Why do people instantly want to kill me on sight? Why do random people suddenly show up at my location at the exact same time I show up (and attempt to murder me)? It's not explained. It's just how the game works. The only time where you get to talk to other humans, rather than killing them is in cut scenes. It makes the story feel quite forced and disconnected from the gameplay.

    For the various story scenarios, basically take every zombie tv show and movie made before this game, nab all of the best scenes, and then put them into this game. I really felt like I was watching a rerun. This isn't necessarily bad, but again, I'm looking for a new experience and not the same-old zombie stuff.

    As for the main plot, it's quite weak and full of plot holes. Without spoiling anything, the main character (that you play primarily) is just a selfish/greedy old man that the game tries to portray as being heroic and just. His actions don't make sense, unless you accept that he's just stupid. He just "believes" things are right and does them, despite the evidence in front of him. And you don't get to go on a journey to find more evidence or to learn more about the world: instead your journey is full of murdering everyone that disagrees with you.

    The story just doesn't hold up to scrutiny and is actually quite bad when completely dissected. Though I must say that the little girl sections of it weren't that bad because she actually acts believably given her circumstances.

    So, the game isn't really for me, though I prefer stories with minimal plot holes, reasonable character actions, and gameplay that doesn't directly conflict with the story. Though for those who love Uncharted, this might be right up your alley.

    It's a boring story. The world is a long corridor, with no possibility of taking an alternative path. Choices are limited to those dictated by an omnipresent morality. It is a nasty surprise for a title glorified by so many people.

    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.

    Visual improvements and three included DLCs don’t justify buying this game again, but if you haven’t played it on PS3 yet, you’re in for long hours of valuable entertainment. [Sept 2014, p.59]
