    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My actual favourite game of all time. I may be a bit biased though, since I played this when I was a newbie to games and loved it then. But since then the love for it has stuck with me. Can't express how amazing every single thing about this game is.

    The soundtrack is beautiful and at times heart wrenching.
    The zombies aren't just mindless hordes out to kill you and are actually scary.
    The plot of the game is pretty straightforward but so well done it leaves a mark on you.
    Most of all, the characters which are what really made this game for me. Tess, Bill, Marlene all of them had motivations that made their character arcs sensible and them as characters feel like real ppl. And the crown jewel of the game, Joel and Ellie and their amazing relationship that we get to see progress from distant travellers to a father - daughter dynamic to the point where Joel kills almost an entire hospital full of Fireflies to save Ellie. The ending is such a well done gray the choice that doesn't end up feeling dis satisfactory which many art forms struggle with.

    This is absolutely one of my favorite games of all time. This has an amazing gameplay, wonderful graphics that still hold up today, a large variety of level designs and a story that is genuinely one of the best every created in the gaming genre.

It has interesting characters, a coherent plot, and some brutality mixed together with love. Having a focus on the relationship between Joel and Ellie makes up for the generic plot, and that is where the story is amazing. The gameplay is solid, with a 'hide-and-seek' style of combat that does get a little repetitive towards the end, but everything else about this game doesn't make you notice until the second or third playthrough. The music as well is wonderfully scored and just makes those scenes even more rememberable. The DLC as well is a gut-punch and offers more insight into the backstory of Ellie's character, since this game very much focused on Joel for the most part. Overall a fantastic game and playing it at 60 FPS makes it an excellent pickup for the PS4/PS5. Expand

    Simply amazing would recommend anyone to experience this wonderful world. Just a girl and her adoptive father going on a meaningful journey. If you are reading this after you played Last Of Us. DO NOT BUY PART II that game does not exist don’t it will save you money and a lot of heartache. please enjoy the first AND LAST of the serious, a good ending to a perfect story.

    The heart-rending story isn`t romanticizing nor does it drift into the pathos other, less subtle games so often lean towards. That's the line where good craftsmanship becomes art, and an excellent game.

    Probably still my favorite story based game of all time. This is a true masterpiece. I've never felt more connected to a game and I didn't want it to end. It will never leave my shelf despite what the developer did to the sequel.

    Remaster well done, not that it would be bad. If you haven't played this on PS3, now is your chance.

    The reason why I bought a ps4 was because I really wanted to play this game. I recently replayed it and damn I am so sad with what they did with the second game :( I am just glad to have this masterpiece to come back to. Love the story, the graphics, the gameplay... everything is perfect. I wish they had done the same with the sequel. I am sad now, gonna cry a bit.

    Great story, memorable characters, tons of replay value, and I have probably put hundreds of hours into Factions. I love Ellie’s dad jokes (and Sam’s). The ending was predictable after the discussion with Marlene, but I’ll forgive that. The ride to get to the end was too enjoyable. One of my favorite games of all time.

    Hope Ish made it out o.k.

    One of the best linear story-driven games of all time there is.
    Played several times (original and remastered) and it clicks each time.
    I don't really huge fan of the ending (I'm not a father and can't 100% imagine or feel this) but it's a really good quality written story with a logical end. I highly recommend this game. That's a pity we won't see a real sequel of this story ever,

    That's a pity we won't see a real sequel of this story ever, except the two ("Left Behind" and "The Birthday Gift") DLC's.

    The Last of Us is a wonder of a game that transcends console generations. Its plot is nearly perfect, but could be a LITTLE better in regards to a few side characters, but in every other regards is AMAZING. The characters of Joel and Ellie really make the game and the immersive world an amazing experience for any fan of video games.

    A perfect game in every sense. Beautiful and captivating story from start to finish. Unfortunately only to be permanetly destroyed by political correctness starting with the Left Behind DLC and ending in TLOU Part II. RIP.

    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]
