    My outlook on gaming was forever changed after playing this years ago on a borrowed PS4 before buying one of my own just to re-experience the title. Incredible graphics and art style for its time, atmospheric music, perfectly written characters, and a well-crafted linear campaign with decent multiplayer. PlayStation's best title, and one of the greatest video games of all time.

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

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

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

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

    Final Rating: "Amazing" ~ 9/10.

    Personally the most addictive game series I have ever played. The story touched me on several emotional levels that no other game has succeeded with... Definitely a 10/10!

    The game took me over 16 hours to beat, and I do not regret investing that time. The Last of Us is a perfect story video game. The game perfectly immerses you in a world with rich characters and story, the voice talent, music, and locations adding to the feeling of a real world ridiculously well. The game takes you a trip emotionally if you can immerse yourself among the characters. TheThe game took me over 16 hours to beat, and I do not regret investing that time.

The game perfectly immerses you in a world with rich characters and story, the voice talent, music, and locations adding to the feeling of a real world ridiculously well. The game takes you a trip emotionally if you can immerse yourself among the characters. The game mechanics are unique and fulfilling, I much preferred the stealth options even though it often resulted in a more difficult time getting through encounters. The crafting system is pretty well thought out and I found myself using all the items presented, it doesn't feel overwhelming. The gun play is definitely a shining aspect as well, finding that perfect head-shot for an instant kill is always rewarding. However, I did enjoy the different weapons to choose from but my play-through ended up relying heavily on the Bow and Revolver for large portions. It's pretty funny to me thinking about how Joel's running around with an entire arsenal on his back. The collectibles are better than most game due to the characters often commenting on them when they're found, and the extra dialogue options remind me a lot of Uncharted, they're fun little bits of additional dialogue that are great at making the characters feel as though they genuinely exist. My only gripe is that at times it felt as though you were repeating the same sections as you had previously, but I found that the differing locations mostly dulled that feeling. The game has a camera feature that I used quite a lot, the scenery just calls for trying to get awesome shots! All in all, this game should be played by anyone that wants and enjoys an unforgettable experience. A genuine 10/10! Expand

    Une bonne remastérisation (quel affreux barbarisme franglais) d’un jeu de zombis surprenant, surtout venant de la part du développeur des Uncharted, des jeux légers et un peu idiots… sur les bords. On retrouve donc la noirceur (et l’ultra violence) du jeu original mais en 1080p et 60 im/s ! de même que quelques effets à la hausse et de meilleurs textures, assurément.

    Néanmoins, ce n’est pas non plus le jour et la nuit lorsqu’on ressort du placard la mouture PS3 : le jeu était déjà en effet déjà très beau et très soigné ! En outre, on constate dans le remaster des ralentissements ici et là, surtout dans une zone en particulier, vers la fin du jeu. Cela reste du bon travail tout de même, d’autant que le (dispensable) DLC ‘Left Behind’ est inclus et bien entendu remastérisé lui aussi.

    On retrouve également une excellent traitement sonore, une excellente VF mais aussi les infâmes QTE et une interface toujours perfectible… Ce ‘Last of Us’ reste évidemment plus agréable dans cette version et encore plus percutant que jadis, malgré encore trop de séquences scriptées à la Uncharted (dur d’abandonner les mauvaises habitudes chez Naughty Dog…). Mais vu le résultat sur une PS4 de base, on aurait tort de faire la fine bouche !

    Story is masterfull, but the gameplay is not great, very run of the mill. Not exacly the masterpiece it is generallu regarded as, but it is good. One of my favorite endings to a piece of media.

    Good game overall altough i dont think it's a 10 out of 10 like many others.

    Pros: - Insane graphics considering its from 2014. - Interesting and riveting story with a few surprises. - Gameplay and the many ways to combat. Cons: - The game can feel a bit long at times. - it's annoying when you get stuck at a certain point and it doesn't really provide you with hints as you see

    - it's annoying when you get stuck at a certain point and it doesn't really provide you with hints as you see in the Uncharted franchise. I found that a bit annoying.

    Overall a must play I would say

    An amazing game compared to the second of the series. The story is what drives the player to continue playing.
    Fun and even scary at times with the zombies running at you. The father daughter relationship is also brilliant and I wish the second game of the series was just as good but it was total g@rbge.

    The Last Of Us (2013) will forever be one of the greatest games ever made because it has truly changed the way games can tell stories. The graphics still hold up super well and the gameplay is great, but what truly makes the game a masterpiece is with its story, writing, and characters. If you haven't played it yet, then play it, you won't be disappointed.

    Шедевр на все времена.
    Совет: Играйте на максимальной сложности. Игра легкая, а высокая сложность смотивирует лучше исследовать локации. Необходимо для погружения, поиска ресурсов и более интересному геймплею.

    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]
