    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Survival gameplay. (Crafting, limited supplies, stealth)
    Setting and world-building are both fantastic and very immersive.
    Strong characters and voice acting.
    Story and Storytelling are expertly done through many means but one of my favourites is the use of multiple playable characters at poignant moments to emphasise what the character is feeling and put the player in their shoes.
    Technical masterpiece especially considering the hardware it released on.
    The weapons feel great.

    Joel should move faster. His animations, on the whole, are a little slow and clunky feeling in the pursuit of realism. This is only a problem once you lose stealth and a fight breaks out. The feeling of having multiple enemies from different directions often feels overwhelming because of his slower movement in combat.

    AI companions can break immersion by not being detected when they move poorly and sometimes feel as if they get in the way but is counteracted by how awesome it feels when Ellie does genuinely help you out in a fight and it beats the alternative of having them get spotted by enemy AI when their pathing is bad. Something I hope improves if there are AI companions in The Last Of Us Part II is the AI's pathing when following the player. This would fix the minor immersion problem present here.    … Expand

    Cannot recommend this game enough. It is another masterpiece by SCEA. The game takes you on an unforgettable journey, and you will have a hard time to put down the controller. The difficulty of the game makes it challenging, but definitely not impossible. If you are looking for something with an AMAZING story, and a just well made game. You can't go wrong with this one.

    I am not saying this is the greatest game ever. It's got to be very close. The weapon changes could be improved. The positioning of things like ladders can sometimes slow up the game play if not placed perfect.

    Great story great visuals great characters. One of the best resource management games ever made. The only complaint I have about this game is that the combat falls short when you are stuck among several enemies. In such situations you mostly find yourself bitten by a zombie from behind while trying to kill the one in front of you!

    An overvalued game.
    I've ever wanted to try this game, reading the reviews it seemed one of the best Playstation games ever, an epic game with a truly touching story which could even make you cry; so finally, after three long years, I've bought it, taking the remastered version for my ps4.

    I've ever wanted to try this game, reading the reviews it seemed one of the best Playstation games ever, an epic game with a truly touching story which could even make you cry; so finally, after three long years, I've bought it, taking the remastered version for my ps4.
    First of all the graphics are good, being a remastered they're not as stunning as those in more recent games, but they are enjoyable and settings are breathtaking.
    I love the idea of crossing the United States during a post-apocalyptic era surrounded by abandoned buildings, closed activities, soldiers and infected people everywhere. The gameplay is long enough and quite interesting, but I have to complain about the frequent bugs and the fact that the protagonist's allies, especially Ellie, the girl you have to carry with you during your journey, are often too close above all during fights and they could become an annoying obstacle:
    for example they sometimes steal your covering or stay between you and the enemy not allowing you to shoot him, making you risk your health or life.
    I love that you can upgrade guns, create bombs and aid kits by collecting tools, but in my opinion they are too rare and badly located (such as important tools put in dangerous areas full of enemies), so that at the end of the game you have barely get the 50% of things, especially pills which improve your skills aren't enough. Another annoying thing about it, is that if you die or want to restart from the last checkpoint, the game doesn't save the tools and objects you had picked up in the meanwhile, so you must re-collect them again.
    Fights are quite difficult as stealth, despite being an alternative, is useless.
    If an enemy (either a human being or an infected) finds you, even if he doesn't make any noise, all the others are inexplicably alerted and you're in great troubles. Stealth isn't well done at all.
    Finally, the part which pushed me to try this game: the plot, the story.
    I read it was captivating, brilliant.. well, not really.
    I've played games which have a much more interesting story than this: Beyond two souls, Heavy rain, Life is strange for example.
    Games in which you immediately put yourself in the main character's shoes: you feel all his anxieties, his fears, his worries, all his sensations. I even cried playing one of these games because it really touched my heart.
    But The last of us has definitely let me down.
    The idea is wonderful: a man who loses his little daughter during the start of the epidemics two decades before and then gets attached to a little girl who should just be a piece of contraband goods to him.
    But it was written in a bad way. The first chapters, excluded the prologue, are totally plain, dull, sometimes even boring. The plot is almost non existent or too predictable. Then in the last three chapters it starts to be interesting and you can get involved. But just in the last 3/4 hours of gameplay.
    In conclusion, I can describe it as a good game, it's worth your time and money, but it is absolutely overvalued since there are other ps games, usually undervalued, which give you a real captivating plot. But not this.
    The last of us is a good game, Naughty Dog rarely falls, but not as amazing as everybody says.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If it were someone else at the hospital, they may chose to sacrifice Ellie just like Marlene, who even watched Ellie grow up and promised her mother to take care of her.(Although it wasn't easy for her) However, it happens to be Joel who escorted Ellie there. Because of what he had lost 20 years ago and what he had been through with Ellie, he chose to save her the moment knowing she would die, without hesitation. Joel is not a selfless hero, yet a good story doesn't have to end with the salvation of humankind.

    Anyway, this game told us a good story.

    However, the design of some battles is so annoying. I still remember that wall-seeing-through sniper and that after the restaurant, when I was taking out the last hunter in the area by stealth, the game spawned another hunter(along with a few more elsewhere) just on my right side-I think there are better ways to increase the challenge of a battle, instead of forcibly adding enemies.    … Expand

    This game feels like you are playing the Walking Dead T.V show as the characters, dialog, presentation, and the storyline are all great. The gameplay plays like a combination of Uncharted and Resident Evil franchises. Overall if you have a PS4 check this out as its great.

    Gameplay isn't a strong part of the game and there is no a lot of content and no replay ability. but damn... It's so serious written thriller with awesome characters, creepy post-world atmosphere. I can say only... It's hard to hate this game even if you are xbox fanboy. Must play

    Everyone who owns a PS4 should play TLoU. The gameplay is not really that great and story itself neither. The characters and their relationship are what makes this game so good and unforgettable.

Other zombie games should hold The Last Of Us as an example of how to do a zombie game. To date I will definitely buy every Naught Dog game that releases now after the Last Of Us because this game was just that good.

    The Last of Us has a very, very real chance of going down in history as the best game ever made. And for me personally, it absolutely is. Never have I played a game I felt so emotionally connected to that I felt the urge to play again now and then just to revisit some of the characters, who will come to feel like family to you. Last of Us is precisely that.

Last of Us is precisely that.

    Forget whether or not combat is good or bad. Forget whether or not the game is hard or easy. The only thing you need to know about this game is that Joel and Ellie will run away with your heart and tell you a story that will change the way you see the potential of video games. The Last of Us could stand on its own as a classic film, but it takes things a step further by allowing you to play a part in the beautiful narrative unfolding in front of you. This game is beautiful in every sense of the word, and if you take the time to invest into its story, you will be rewarded with one of the best gaming experiences of your life.

    If you get The Last of Us, do not think about skipping out on the DLC "Left Behind," because it will add a layer of depth to the original story that is so strong and so important. The DLC, in fact, might even be better than the original game in its own bite-sized way. The two stories absolutely belong together, so please do not leave the DLC behind.

    I gave this game a 10/10 only because 20 out of 10 wasn't listed as an option. If you are a sucker for good stories, dialogue and characters, you will have found your favorite game of all time. I guarantee it.    … Expand

    It's hard to find anything wrong with this game. My only complaint is that the stealth system is a little wonky but other than that, this is a perfect game. Naughty Dog has nailed the formula for adventure games and they know how to make you care about characters. This is a game that everyone should play.

    A good game for those who wish to play through an interesting take on the typical zombie apocalypse scenario. However, this game leaves you wanting more due to its somewhat short length and non-replayability outside of a dying multiplayer.

    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.
