    Incredible game. I played it again preparing for part 2 and I think I like it more now after playing it for the second time. It has an incredible story and gameplay, graphics, and soundtrack make for immersive.

This is one of the best games to ever be made in this decade and is definitely a must-play if you own a PS4/PS5. Expand

    It's such a perfect narrative game by Naughty Dog ! You will go through many different emotions throughout your adventure, but beware, as a post-apocalyptic adventure game, it won't be a happy walk in a desolate park.

    With that said, I can't compare it with the second game right now, which other players may do at the moment.
    But if you want a cruel and yet, beautiful experience facing many dangers like bandits, creepy mushroom-heads zombies (?) taking place in various locations in the U.S it should be for you.
    This edition comes with sharper graphics and better framerate, a DLC campaign where you play Ellie, and probably more multiplayer stuff, since this game has indeed a multiplayer, but I didn't play much of it, even back on PS3.
    Gameplay wise it's still pretty good, even though, I would have liked a little more liberty in my approaches. You can't enter rooms and just shooting everything that moves like Uncharted and it's a nice change : prepare yourself, craft Molotov cocktails and medikits, check your ammo and try to remain hidden until your ennemy walks into your trap. It can be found for cheap in stores and during sales since it's part of Playstation Hits.
    It was a must have on PS3, and it's even more one on PS4 !

    A true masterpiece! The best game of all times!! The way Joel see Ellie as the daughter he had once (Sarah) is awsome and the post-apocalyptic world we see is very touching.

    I have never been a fan of games with horror zombie apocalypse topics. I played some of them such as The Evil Within games, tried one Resident Evil game and few others. The common thing for all those games (in my opinion) was that they are very successful in making you scared and uncomfortable but when it comes to the storylines - they were all so thin and weak, sometimes even pointless.

The common thing for all those games (in my opinion) was that they are very successful in making you scared and uncomfortable but when it comes to the storylines - they were all so thin and weak, sometimes even pointless. I am fine with gore and fear but if that is the only point in the game then I do not find it really interesting.

    I have been avoiding playing The Last of Us because I thought it is just another zombie game but when I finally started playing I saw after two hours of gameplay that this game is completely different. This is the first game with such topic (zombie outbreak) that I liked and it definitely is the best game with zombies and one of the best games that I have ever played and that is because it only uses the zombie apocalypse as an atmosphere in which context lies a story about Joel, the adult and Ellie, fourteen year old girl, who are on their journey through the country. The game puts an accent on the story and does not have a gameplay based on infinite shooting at zombies, or how they call them in the game, infected. It is far from that but the gameplay is far from a piece of cake and it should also satisfy gamers who are into action and shooting, especially if they select harder difficulty modes.

    I played both PS3 and PS4 version of this game and visually it is one of the best looking games for PS3. Even in 2020, 7 years after it was released, this game still looks very nice being put next to some other good looking PS4 titles. The PS4 remastered version has a little visual improvements such as full HD resolution and more fps.

    Speaking of a gameplay, The Last of Us does not bring many innovations - it rather improves some stuff that we already saw in third person action-adventure games. The gameplay perfectly combines exploration and combat with cutscenes without overdoing each of those. You can play this game in many ways. You can be aggressive and shoot everything at your sight but you can also sneak and be quiet. There are many ways of passing through the areas and for the most part you can really choose if you want to assassinate your enemies or find a way around.

    Through the game you will find different sorts of weapons and there is a crafting system allowing you to make improvised bombs and melee weapons.

    Another part of a gameplay is walking and exploration followed by interesting dialogs.

    The Last of Us has a very fine acting, one of the best I saw in video games, which an emotional story of this game certainly needs, a story that most of the players would breathlessly follow until the end.

    TLOU is, in my opinion, an absolute masterpiece when it comes to its world-building and character development. The gameplay is satisfactory; not the best ever but exciting and tension-filled. The story of Joel and Ellie is both heartwarming and heartbreaking, and you become so incredibly familial with them throughout the course of the game.

Naughty Dog hit it out of the park with this game, and it will always hold a place in my Top 10 games of all time.

    TLOU Part 2, by the way, is a dumpster fire and should be avoided at all costs. I will never consider it to be canon. For me, Joel and Ellie's story ended with the first game.

    Undoubtedly The Last Of Us 1 is masterpiece! Graphic, gameplay are very good but I want to note that the story is amazing! Thousands of fans loved the relationships between Joel and Ellie.

    Este juego tiene claro lo que es enfocarse en un mundo post-apocaliptico, los sentimientos de los personajes en este suceso, los infectados, la gente que trata de subsistir en bandos como son los cazadores y las luciérnagas, todo a un mérito que es "sobrevivir". Gran juego.

    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]
