    Pinnacle of game design and storytelling... still I can imagine, that game mechanics could work little bit better (but they are still more fluid and natural than most of the competition).

    Looking forward to LOU 2, that I hope is surely on its way.

    I've been playing the same game for 2 years now -- since the day it came out -- on two different consoles, and I still learn new things. Try to defy the game? Characters will present hidden dialogs. Go into new places? Cue protagonist gaffs. This is 100% a masterpiece, from the music, to the artwork, to the story, to the silly pun joke book in Left Behind that nearly goes on forever. The single-player campaign is filled with lore and additional stories that can be read and learned alongside environment art. Combined with trophies and collectables, the game has a very, very long lifecycle. In addition, two years after the game's release Naughty Dog still makes improvements and tweaks to the gameplay to balance and refine it. The DLC has helped make sure the multiplayer servers will stay up for a long time with streams of revenue.

    My only gripe is that there isn't more to play and Left Behind is a little too short -- beatable in one day. Hopefully there will be a Last of Us 2, though I'd rather the title stay a standalone masterpiece before turning into a giant cow of a franchise to be milked until dry.    … Expand

    I've been playing video games since the early 80's (yep, I'm that old!) and I can honestly say that The Last of Us is easily one of the finest games I have every played. I must admit that when I started playing I thought 'I don't see what all the fuss is about, it's just another FPS'. But, I was oh so very very wrong.

I must admit that when I started playing I thought 'I don't see what all the fuss is about, it's just another FPS'. But, I was oh so very very wrong. 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.    … Expand

This remastered version also includes extra DLC already on the disc, including the story chapter "Left Behind." So if you haven't played the game yet and have a PS4, this is the way to do so. Even if you've already played the game back on the PS3, the extra content and improved visuals are plenty of reasons to consider the upgrade.

    A word of warning though, while generally better looking all around, there are a few areas where the new graphics aren't up to snuff. The character models always look fantastic, but every now and then certain aspects of the environment can look dated. Most of the time though the game looks amazing. There are some really breathtaking moments. It's just that every now and then you'll come across something that makes you think "Eh, this could look better." I also encountered a few rare and very minor glitches here and there. Nothing serious though.

    Okay, so now that we've gotten the flaws out of the way (that was literally all of them), we can get into why the game is simply a don't miss experience. Naughty Dog pulled out all of the stops for this one and created one of the most stunning and incredible experiences gaming has to offer. The area where this is most notable is the narrative. Without spoiling too much, The Last of Us tells an emotionally gripping tale set in a fully realized world with some of the best writing and characters I've ever seen in a video game. The brutal, bleak nature of the game is handled marvelously. This is the perfect example of genuinely mature storytelling. The performances that bring these characters to life rival that of the best Hollywood actors. The writing's ability to resonate and effect me is on par with anything I've ever watched in a movie or read in a book. Simply put, the story is phenomenal.

    Given that this is a video game, storytelling alone isn't necessarily enough to give The Last of Us masterpiece status. It also needs to prove itself in the gameplay department. Something the game does strongly. The game does an excellent job of selling the feel of surviving in a world gone to crap. Ammo is scarce, you'll need to scrounge for supplies in order to get by, and crafting your own items is what will often get you by. Combat is savage and can pack quite the challenge. The exciting mix on tense third-person shootouts, brutal melee combat, and edge of your stealth options make it where it's your choice how you survive. Every bullet and item counts, especially on the higher difficulties. Fights require quick and smart thinking, whether you're fighting other well-armed survivors or the speedy infected. In order to fully upgrade Joel's abilities you'll need to playthrough more than once, which makes those new game + options all the more enticing.

    The Last of Us also has an enjoyable multiplayer component, that does a great job of making use of the story mode's mechanics in order to set it apart. You'll scavenge, craft, and use teamwork to win the day. There's also an interesting meta-game that has you winning supplies for the faction you pick. The better you perform and the more your camp will grow. As it does you'll be required to bring in more from your watches. It's an interesting loop that backs up the already strong core gameplay to keep you coming back.

    This game is nothing less than a masterpiece. One that's made even better on PS4 thanks to the included DLC and (mostly) improved visuals. It story stands as among the best gaming has to offer. The gameplay experience is so refined and fun that there's really no reason why anyone should pass this up. This is one of those rare, must-play games that only come around every once in a while and need to played when they do. It's even worth buying a PS4 or PS3 just to experience this game one way or another. If you have the option I recommend going for this PS4 version, as it gives you more of the experience.    … Expand

You can't, not think about it as a god damn, top notch film, even with its amazing gameplay. After the game, I was sitting and looking at the menu screen, listening to the amazing soundtrack, and trying to pull myself together, after this emotional journey... I would love to describe it, but I can't... You have to scavenge, survive and live through it on your own... Only then, you can see the unbelievable level of accomplishment this game has achieved. The only thing I would change, would be the difficulty. I have finished the game on the maximum difficulty(grounded), and I believe this should be the only option. If you are reading this before playing it, trust me and do yourself a favour, play it on GROUNDED level. Every arrow, every bullet and other junk, will become the greatest treasure and asset of your playstyle and tactic. It will make it as realistic as possible, you will fear every dark place, noise and every enemy can be your last encounter if handled improperly. I have watched the "making of" afterwards, and seeing some of the gameplay in it, made me realised, how much of the real experience people are missing by choosing the easier options... Developers made it really fair, with a little thinking and few tries, you can make it, overcome the impossible. It's about the survival in a post-apocalyptic world where death awaits behind every corner, don't make a point and click game for kids out of it... Anyways, after almost 28 hours of the emotional roller-coaster, it is so hard to shake it off... The ending was great, I am fully satisfied with it. I hated every dark and scary part of the game, I felt terrible and my heart was going nuts but... I miss Ellie and Joel... we have been through so much... It is so hard to forget... I really do miss them, and I think about going back into this dark and hostile world, just to be with them a little longer...… Expand

    Sound:
    amazing soundtrack and general sound perfectly performed.
    History and gameplay:

But after my brother bought it on his PS4 and let me give it a play, I must say that I'm stupidly surprised at what The Last of Us actually is. Its the story of two characters slowly growing together in a world that's been torn apart.

Their plight and they themselves felt real and because that I rooted for them.

    The visual beauty of this game can not be understated. I often caught myself mesmerized during cutscenes or in gameplay by the masterful environment design, character models and lighting. The power of the PS4 brings to life the texture of this gritty world. Every shattered tile, every fractured street, every scruff of beard and every blade of grass is a thing of beauty in and of itself, especially on closer inspection.

    The mechanics of TLOU are not revolutionary but they are very strong. I found it innovative and appropriate that when crafting or healing you're left totally exposed. It adds an extra level of realism and danger. TLOU has a few bugs (texture popping, the AI gets stuck occasionally, etc) but nothing that detracts from what is honestly one of the greatest games I've ever played.

    I've only played a little of the multiplayer. It's about par for the course though it has some fairly long load times.

    The Last of Us is another bar setting game for Naughty Dog studios and for the video game industry at large. I can honestly say, that having just finished the single player, I can't wait to go back and play it again.    … Expand

Is it worth buying again for those who've already done everything there is to do on the PS3 version? I'd say yes with a few caveats.
    The biggest thing you'll notice first is the graphics. There is a very clear upgrade in the visuals, even if it doesn't exactly stand up to a game like inFamous. It comes close but you can tell this was a game that was designed for the last gen consoles. I've heard that it looks like a game that's on Ultra high settings on the PC and I think that's a very good description of it. Plus they've tweaked the controls a bit to help with some of the clunkyness of the original game. I really like the big button in the middle of the controller that opens your inventory screen and it's easier to use than the select button on the old game.
    There are a few things that I don't like about this version though and it starts with the price. 50 bucks for this game is way too high. 40 seems reasonable but 50 is really high for a game that's been out for awhile and has been down to 20 bucks in the last week on the old consoles. Plus there have been a number of glitches that occurred in my game. Lots of stiff movements, running through walls, cutscenes not properly loading. It's only happened in the first hour of my playthrough so far but there's been enough of it to cause me an issue. Fortunately nothing has happened during a fight yet so things are not as bad.
    The fact of the matter is though that this game is still easily one of the best gaming experiences ever to be released and you're doing yourself an injustice not playing it at least once. For people like myself who have already beaten the main game and DLC on the PS3, there is still alot of playability here mostly for the fact that there's nothing else to really get for the system for awhile. If you're looking for something you know will be excellent and to relive one of the best games in recent memory, then you have to pick this game up. Even with the fairly steep price tag, it's still worth it.    … Expand

    So I'm killing time in a Best Buy after going to the dentist before heading to work and I was browsing the Sony aisle. I asked if they had any deals on the Playstation 3, the first guy said no and that was about all he said. So another guy who works there overheard me and said that they were running a special on the PS4 today, he put Ratchet and Clank in my hand first, which I was thinking, "Oh cool, I heard it's good." Then he put The Last of Us Remastered in my hand and I had NO idea they remastered it - I haven't really played many video games in years. He told me they were both included today with the PS4.

    I grabbed that PS4 immediately and drove home to play The Last of Us. I beat it two days later. One of the best games I've ever played and even if I never played another PS4 game that would have been almost worth it for that alone. Heck that game exceeded all hype.

You don't review a remaster for the people who have already played the first one. You review it on it's own merits, and on it's own merits The Last of Us Remastered cannot possibly receive a LOWER score than the original. 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. In short, The Last of Us Remastered is a remastered version of a masterpiece. The original deserved (and received) 10s, and the remastered edition deserves no less.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An astonishing game. One of the very few games actually made for adults. And I don't mean your average 14 year olds concept of adult, i.e. lots of nudity and violence. It certainly does contain plenty of the latter, but by adult I mean a proper emotionally based story where the characters change and evolve as it unfolds. This dynamic shift in the protagonists relationship is subtly played out through their interactions. A testimony to the story telling is that at the start of the game Joel really hasn't much time for Ellie at all and at one point is in two minds whether to just abandon her. However, by the end he is willing to sacrifice a possible cure for mankind to save her life. Due to the craftsmanship of the subtle story telling the player completely and utterly understands and sympathises with his action. I also like the non-stereotypical portrayal of a gay man. Well done Naughty Dog.… Expand

Voice acting is tremendous, the story is captivating and multi-player is fun and well designed. All in all a must play game in my book.

    TL;DNR: 10 - superb, smooth graphics, great game play, exciting and challenging combat; tremendous atmosphere and immersion; well written dialogue and excellent story telling all around. One of the best games ever created. However, if you have the PS3 version I am not able to comment on any level of improvement, but this current version, for someone new to the PS4 I can say that this is a must play game.

    Technology/engine: Super smooth graphics, excellent game play supported by flawless optimization. Use the dual shock very well and nothing feels forced or superfluous.

    AI: Great AI with significant behavior variations keeping the game tense and fluid.

    Graphics: 10 - Absolutely stunning at 60 FPS and 1080p.

    Sound: Excellent ambient noise and great source to distance recognition. Sound plays a HUGE role in the game and it is very well implemented.

    Soundtrack: 10 - Very fitting music that adds to the intensity and immersion of the game.

    Voice acting: 10 - Excellent acting all around. Very well delivered dialogue and great moments of small levity in this harsh and cruel future.

    Crafting: 10 - Very well implemented with just the right amount of scarcity of resources. Crafting can turn the tide of a confrontation, which is how it should.

    Customization: 10 - there is no real variation in appearance but the skill system allows you to augment how you enjoy playing. Its another well designed a feature that really adds to the game overall.

    Gameplay systems 10 - Great stealth, excellent combat utilizing melee, guns and traps and forcing a player to think ahead and execute a plan of attack with few if any flaws.

    Controls: 10 - Great use of the Dualshock controller and integration of the central touch pad.

    Story: 10 - It is not often that you come across a game with such a deep and well told narrative. If you love games for the stories that they tell, this one is a must play and is in the ranks of Ragnar Tornquist, Kirkman, Ken Levine and other great narrative story tellers of game development.

    Multiplayer: 10 - well balanced and fun to play.    … Expand

It's called anything from a masterpiece to the greatest game people have played, but this is the remaster, so I'm going to focus on how worth it it is to pick up for a first, as well as a second play through.

    If you have never played this game before, buy it. This game will give you more hours and higher quality gameplay than almost any other for the cost. The replay value, multiplayer, free DLC and difficulty are enough to warrant the purchase, but if you already owned it on PS3...

    Buy it again. In order to see why this game is worth picking up a second time, let's look at what "Remastered" actually means. 49 dollars gets you:

    - 30 dollars worth of DLC bundled in free.
    - Improved visuals, shadows, framerate (60 fps), textures, etc.
    - Dualshock 4 integration. Audio logs can now be played via the controller instead of needing to stay in the menu, the light bar signals how low your health is, etc.
    - FULL LENGTH making of documentary included.
    - Directors commentary optional during cut scenes, includes other voice actors as well.
    - Photo mode.
    - Hardest difficulty mode that used to be DLC now included as well as being accessible for first play throughs.
    - Advanced audio options finally.
    -Multiplayer boost for Ps3 owners.

    So for 49 dollars, you get 30 dollars worth of DLC, a full length documentary, a multiplayer boost, a new difficulty available instantly... and then after that you add on the remastered visuals and audio.

    This game features new game plus, high difficulties, engaging and unique multiplayer, engaging and free DLC and now it comes packed with interested special features. All for less money than other games on the system. It's the best bang for your buck for the PS4, even for returning players. This isn't just a remaster, it's how all remasters should be done.    … Expand

    The last of us Remastered packs a lengthy and memorable single player plus a wonderful and unforgettable DLC and a fantastic multilayer mode along with all the DLCs published until today.
    The HD remastered is not mind-blowing if you have already played on PS3 but you will be able to notice how sharp and clear all the game is in comparison to PS3 version, Textures are in a higher quality form and draw distances are much more clear, with that being said, even though technical quality of TLOU is no comparable to a next gen game but surprisingly the game is that much well crafted that is really holding up to this very day very well and it is still awesome to gaze upon the beauty of this game.
    the biggest advantage in the Remastered edition is that the game runs on 60fps, it makes the combat really fluent and much more believable than it was on PS3, overall experience is just awesome in 60fps but in case you still like that cinematic looking and feel of 30fps ND has put the option to lock the FPS to 30 under display options, as well make sure you update the game because the shadow maps will improve when you game is switched to 30fps but with that being said still the 60fps is more preferable.
    I can not say much about the gameplay, one word just fantastic, every part of the game is crafted very well as if each parts are made to test are ability of surviving, the story, character developments are wonderfully written throughout the game and after a while you will start to feel a bound between yourself and the characters in the game ....
    Finally the multiplayer is awesome as well, i wont spoil it for you if you havent been able to play it on ps3 but i can say this game worth of 49$ even if you wanna go only for multiplayer experience ( like me ).
    Finally the last of us is packed with a 20~25 hours of single player content and countless hours of multiplayer content only for 49 dollar, its one the best (and perhaps) the best game of the last gen consoles ....

Since playing this masterpiece, nothing has come close to meeting the high expectations for narrative scope and world design that the developers Naughty Dog have set.
    I'll begin with the one negative I can genuinely think of for this game: The weapon choice for the flamethrower seems a bit out of place and its inclusion towards the end doesn't really make sense. That's it. Pretty minor, and when the only criticism you have for a game is that there's a **** flamethrower in it, you know you're playing something pretty good.
    Onto the positives:
    1. The story, whilst it's been done a thousand times before, feels fresh, and you genuinely don't know where it's going at all. It's pacing is perfect, with massive, adrenaline fuelled bosses/set pieces juxtaposed with moments of tranquillity, just to explore the world. The way it's told doesn't miss a beat through it's 13-16 hour run time. An emotionally gripping tale topped with a somewhat bittersweet finale.
    2.The world that's been crafted is one of the finest in all of gaming, as it portrays a barren society through its dilapidated buildings and overgrown vegetation whilst keeping the sense that this world was once inhabited. The areas you traverse are varied and interesting, encouraging exploration into every nook to discover another artifact that pieces the story together.
    3. The characters are all very engaging, however the two that the story focuses on, two survivors brought together by circumstance, have an unmatched level of depth and chemistry. Their relationship grows and dwindles and breaks and reforms multiple times throughout the story, with the excellent voice acting and motion capture for these two making their trials and tribulations feel authentic. You want to root for these two, but at times you'll question whether you should.
    4. The gameplay plays second fiddle to the story, however the immersion of the combat drags you deeper into the world by making you carefully craft items and hoard ammo from a limited amount of supplies found throughout the world. This makes you scavenge for more ways to survive, and also shapes the way you enter fights, with the constant danger of being without ammo always just one mistimed shot away. The human enemies encountered are standard, but the two main zombies (Infected as they're referred to) fought add terror and variety to proceedings. They make you use stealth, craft bombs and keep your distance because confronting them is so distressing. Action sequences are pulsating and nerve wracking at once, the way they should be.
    5. The musical score is immense, nothing more to add.
    6. The DLC is pretty awesome and adds an overall insight into one of gaming's best child characters, Ellie, as we see her touching yet inevitably tragic back story unfold.
    7. The online multiplayer is more enjoyable than expected. Whilst I wouldn't buy the game solely for it, it offered a few more fun hours with the combat mechanics.

    To conclude, The Last of Us is the best game I have ever played. It's gripping, heartbreaking, eye opening and stunning all at the same time. A masterpiece, a game that hopefully proves what impact video games can have on the entertainment medium. Play it right now.    … Expand

    I haven't really heard about this game since I didn't own a last gen console and that I didn't really have any friends that would play games. Once I saw that The Last of Us was going to be on the Ps4 from ads, I did a bit of research about the game without getting any spoilers. 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.    … Expand

Despite how familiar theStory: Twenty years after a pandemic radically transformed known civilization, infected humans run amuck and survivors kill one another for sustenance and weapons. Joel, a salty survivor, is hired to smuggle a fourteen-year-old girl, Ellie, out of a rough military quarantine, but what begins as a simple job quickly turns into a brutal journey across the country. Despite how familiar the story is, what makes this story worth playing through is how exceptionally well the story is told. The writing is superb, the performances are spot on, the dialogue is believable, and all the characters, especially Joel and Ellie, are interesting and worth following along on this adventure. Even though Joel is the main character, Ellie steals the spotlight from him due to how she was written as a girl forced to grow up in this type of environment. She feels like an actual person; everything from her talks with Joel and other characters, to her movement, and Ashley Johnson's incredible performance. This game is a prime example of how storytelling > story originality. You even get the "Left Behind" DLC about Ellie's past for extra value! 10/10

    Gameplay: TLOU might be made from the same guys that made Uncharted, but it's nothing like that. You're not gonna be mowing down dozens of enemies and jumping from roof-to-roof. This is a game all about survival. Your health can't regenerate, you need to scavenge items in order to craft various tools that can help you, stealth is important if you're hoping to avoid wasting resources, ammo is scarce, you need to craft upgrades for your weapons, and find supplements in order to upgrade yourself. There are also infected in this game which are different from your average zombie due to how their infection is based on a actual Cordyceps fungi. This adds a new refreshing take on the "zombie apocalypse" cliche since it explores the question of what would happen if this type of fungi can infect humans instead of just insects. The infected themselves, while only featuring 4 different types, are able to add a new level of intensity to this game-turning several sections of the game into something out of a survival-horror game due to creepy nature of these critters and how they act (the "clickers" are a definite highlight of this). People might complain that the A.I. is dumb for ignoring Ellie, but I heavily disagree with this since this saves the game from turning into a tedious escort-mission like Resident Evil 4 (even if this could break the immersion of the game at times). The A.I. themselves are strong otherwise, there are collectibles here, the shooting and cover is strong, the stealth is really good, and the game now runs at 60fps thanks to the PS4's hardware. The gameplay is overall near-perfection in my eyes. 10/10

    Graphics: Thanks to the PS4, we have an already amazing looking PS3 game turn into an outstanding looking PS4 game, and one of the few "next-gen" looking games out right now. The motion-capture is incredible, the environments look detailed and overrun with foliage due to civilization being gone for 2 decades, the infected look extremely believable and probably what Cordycep-infected humans might look like if such a fungi were to exist, and the environments, textures, and shadows all look even better. Thanks to the PS4, the game runs at 1080p resolution. Naughty Dog essentially took what was already great with the visuals and made them even better. 10/10

    Sound: The game has a perfect sense of timing-the game knows when to let it's great score play out, and when to let natural sounds take over the background. The guns also sound impactful, the melee sounds are brutal, and the infected sound extremely creepy (especially the clickers and bloaters). Naughty Dog also knocked it out-of-the-park when it comes to the sound design. 10/10

    Multiplayer: Unfortunately, this is where the game stumbles for me. In the multiplayer, titled "Factions", you either join the "Fireflies" or the "Hunters" (both are the same) and are tasked with surviving for 12 weeks and 7 days until help arrives for you. Here's the problem with the ranking system: 1 match=1 day. So you have to play 90 MATCHES in order to complete your story, skill isn't a factor. This is a grind-y MP mode and it shows. Other problems include: a metagame where you have to feed your survivors with food you gather during matches (forces you to do well in EVERY match you're in), gunplay can be a bit repetitive, buying armor feels out-of-place in a SURVIVAL MP mode, lack of customization, limited to only 3 modes, some maps are designed in an annoying 3-lane design, supply boxes can barely help you at times, micro-DLC, and matchmaking issues. If you have 3 other friends though, this can be fun as it requires more teamwork than even Battlefield. As for me, it just came off as decent. At least you get all the DLC packs though. 6/10

    Verdict: TLOU is to me, one of the best games ever made; and definitely worth a (2nd) purchase.

The aftermath of a virus, leave the world to senseless anarchy and corruption, and a group called the Fireflies fights it, there is no fair government. There are creepy clickers and runners lurking around the whole place which looks damn great on new hardware. Joel and Marlene are hired to protect Ellie, a girl with a special gift, she is immune to the virus. The amount of gritty tension during the stealth sequences of TLOU is harrowing and will leave you nights, sleepless. With great voice acting from Troy Baker as the rough Joel, may be his best yet. Naughty Dog is one developer that keeps surprising us each time, Uncharted already has acclaim, but if you play TLOU, you will be amazed. BTW, If you don't have it already, you are living under a rock, my friend. I replayed this epic three times and can't wait to do it again. The Left Behind DLC is included in this great package, and boy, for a DLC, it's brilliant. Left Behind tells Ellie's story behind the events of The Last Of Us. The Last Of Us is something Stanley Kubrick would have been proud of. It has incredible depth, great characters, jaw dropping visuals, and a hint of human that is not found in other games. Get a PS4 already, Xbox Fanboys!… Expand

    I've been a gamer for over two decades now (ever since the original Nintendo), and I can firmly and confidently say that this is THE best game I've ever played.

    This game without a doubt deserves 5/5. I feel that anyone that gives it less didn't get what it was trying to do. This isn't a standard video game. It's primary purpose is to tell you a story. An interactive story, where you actually feel like you're there with the characters, experiencing everything with them as they experience it. It's something books and movies can't quite pull off, and is video game specific. Even among games, it's extremely rare that a truly successful and well-done interactive narrative can be pulled off so successfully. Everything really matters.

    The only downside I can think of is that there is a ton of swearing, and a pretty decent amount of violence, so this game isn't for the little ones below 10 years. Also, the AI does odd stuff occasionally. But virtually everything else is virtually flawless, breath-taking, heart-breaking, and intense. The writing, art & environments, acting, and music are all above top-notch. It will keep you on the edge of your seat, whether it be due to wondering what's lurking around the corner, or to hear what interesting tid-bit your in-game companions will say next.

    I suppose, in the end, the reason why I love it so is simply because it explores the range and depth of human emotion.

    This game is for anyone and everyone that appreciates a good story. If you've ever enjoyed a fictional book, movie, or video game, in your entire life, you owe yourself this experience. Do what you have to do, to become the last of us. You won't regret it.

    P.S. You should really read the very short prequel comics first (before playing the game), written by the head writer of the game. They're official storyline, and really do add a lot of little neat things and details to the game that you wouldn't appreciate or would miss otherwise.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    As a jaded gamer, Grounded mode on The last of us is a treat that comes around very rarely. A new experience. Its so polished an experience, they charged for it. I couldn't believe that at first but they've utterly justified it. Cannot fault it. I've completed it on hard and survivor (PS3) and it still feels fresh. They've programmed subtle randomness to the a.i and so i have not, and willAs a jaded gamer, Grounded mode on The last of us is a treat that comes around very rarely. A new experience.

    Anyways, if you've already played the game on your PS3, you might not be interested by this Remastered Edition, even though the visual upgrade is important.
    But if you never owned a PS3 or never played this game, this is a must have.

    First of all, it's absolutely gorgeous. The art direction is phenomenal, the views are stunning, the characters look great... This is indeed a beautiful looking game.
    Furthermore, its performance is a real plus. The PS3 version suffers from framerate dips down to the 20s. The lowest I've experienced on this game must've been around 45-50 fps, during really intense moments (bloaters, for example. Loads of particle effects involved.).
    But for the most part, about 98% of the time, it runs at a solid 60fps.

    The gameplay is great, the fist fights are really intense, and the shooting, usually pretty rare, and always short, is really well done.

    But if there is a main reason to play this game, it's its story. It's absolutely phenomenal. The characters are formidable (just try to hate them... oh wait, you can't), the pacing is great and fits the game's atmosphere perfectly, there are some really intense moments... This is a truely great game. One that will be remembered for all the good reasons.

    Of course some people hate on it. But well, it seems to be a trend with PS exclusives...

    Anyways, a serious 10/10. A must have.
    And as I said, if you already played it, except is you're a hardcore fan are are dying to play it again, don't buy it. The game hasn't changed.
    But if you haven't, just freaking go for it. The hell are you waiting for ?

    Also, there is a photo mode. It's a gimmick, but it's a nice plus, and allows us to make great screenshots.

    10/10, nuff said. Best game in a while.    … Expand

    A post-apocalyptic road trip that offers a fantastic, riveting experience, where destruction and beauty, and hope and despair, get entwined in a way that’s nothing short of genius, The Last of Us is so good that its somewhat repetitive, and occasionally dull gameplay isn’t enough to rob it of its rightful place amongst the video game greats. Therefore, if looking for an unforgettable action-adventure, with strong cinematic sensibilities, and a heavy emphasis in adult, character-driven storytelling, look no further than Naughty Dog’s classic, especially now that the remastered version has made the original even more stunning.

    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]

    One of the best titles of the previous generation is now available in all the next-gen glory and also with all the DLCs. Take it or leave it. [Issue#245]
