    Awesome graphical upgrade from ps3. Story is amazing. Gameplay is fun. Only negative I could think of was I wish there was more action in long stretches of just walking and exploring.

    Remaster of the best game on PS3. Once again with great pleasure reflashed this masterpiece. It is a pity that a game does not support 4K, and so everything is made perfectly. It was once again convinced that Naughty Dog makes best of all games.

    Great game, although I do think it is overrated by most people's standards. Don't get me wrong it's still great but too many people hype it up to be this holy grail when I don't think it is that.

But this game did something completely different. It massively surpassed them. The story revolves around Joel and Ellie, two extremely contrasting individuals on a life-altering quest. And their tale is certainly not a happy one. Along the way, you meet unforgettable characters, and witness some unforgettable moments. Combat is up first, and this was one of the aspects that nagged me before playing the game. But Naughty Dog did this really well. In every combat scenario, you can either do some cover shooting, or sneak past the enemies. There is a multitude of weapons to do this with, which are all found at a relatively good pace. But sneaking is by far the best option. Not only just food, drink, shelter and joy are in low quality here. Ammo is hard to come by, compared to other games, so Joel's motto of 'make them count' is absolutely true. You can interact with items around the world, and they will make your life easier. Bottles and bricks highlight the biggest flaw in the game, though. The AI. The AI is more broken than the world where the game is set. It is absolutely horrendous sometimes, and does take away from the realism, especially when people turn away from you, the person who they're meant to kill, to focus on a bottle. The zombie variants are small, but each one is extremely different, and are tackled very differently. Listen Mode is a handy tool available in the lower difficulties, that, for the lack of a better term, lets you see what you hear, and is useful whenever you find yourself in the same room as a couple infected, and need a plan. It also helps that the game also looks quite stellar, and the use of lighting is extremely notable. The game uses music rarely, and only for key moments. While I like the music, and it fits the game perfectly, there is a sheer lack of tracks. It just sounds like one track is used, although with its pace slowed or sped-up. I won't state anything about the story, because its something best experienced by the game itself, but the confusion, sorrow and shock displayed by the first chapter keeps rolling till the last. Nothing short of amazing. Expand

However, this would be a very unfair comparison. Regardless, I really enjoyed the game play, combat, crafting, voice acting, the grimness, the intensity of the puzzles and sneaking around.

    Overall I do recommend this game. My only gripe is that, though I understand why the ending is powerful and how it can certainly raise some hairs on your necks, the execution and choice of words felt rushed and it did not blow me away. I think my expectations were too high.

    I played this game for the first time recently despite having a PS3. Never saw what the hype around this game was about and I never liked the Uncharted series, so Naughty Dog making it meant nothing to me. I finally gave it a try and sort of regret not playing it sooner. The game is fantastic. The story does a very good job of instilling emotion into the player and it's paced very well.

I finally gave it a try and sort of regret not playing it sooner. The game is fantastic. The story does a very good job of instilling emotion into the player and it's paced very well. To be honest, the game felt really short to me when I look at the time that I spent playing it. However, the pacing of the story and everything felt just right. Nothing felt rushed or dragged on. Length wise, I felt it was short, but I enjoyed every moment of it and really wouldn't change anything about the writing. This game is a masterpiece in terms of the story. The game is looks great and it's one of the best remasters of a last generation game. It runs great as well, unlike many other remasters that are quick cash grabs. The content definitely justifies the price of it. My only issue with this game is the combat and general gameplay of it. The combat is really nothing special. I found it sometimes a bit boring, to be honest. It's extremely solid, but does nothing really new and I felt it was just good, but nothing to write home about. The gameplay was definitely not clunky or had any massive flaws. Another issue I had was how annoying it would be with how you had to be in a exact spot. I remember during the game, going underwater to get a wooden raft. When I got close to it, it wouldn't let me interact with it. I had to get at a perfect distance from it in order to interact with it. This was really annoying because the interaction button only appeared for a second as I was swimming around and I almost missed it. This would lead me to just wander around randomly trying to figure out what to do to progress in the game. Aside from this issue, this game is definitely perfect. Would recommend it to anyone who hasn't tried the game before. I wasn't really sure what the hype was about before, but I can definitely see it now. It's worth all the praise and hype around it.

    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.

    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 !

    - The highs of the plot are some of the best narrative moments I've experienced in video games as a media
    - The ending.

    Cons:
    - Shooting can be finicky at times
    - Plot is more like a TV show than a movie, with the various encounters of Joel and Ellie sometimes seeming a bit too self contained for my liking
    - Middle of the game is a bit too long
    - Character development feels a bit (just a bit) rushed
    - Weapon upgrades don't feel quite as obvious as I would've liked
    - There are a few plot points that could be explained more clearly
    - For a game like this, I would've liked to see more storytelling through the gameplay

    Although I listed many negatives, I absolutely adored the game. The criticisms come from thinking about the game enough to notice such small things. Very excited for TLOU 2.

The FPS is absolutely amazing with the known concept of apocalyptic doom in which is an absolute masterpiece! The composition of the game is simply astonishing and groundbreaking. Gameplay never changed but enhanced as said before. The story is heartbreaking in which it gives you a hard GRIP of reality if there were an apocalypse. The concept of what caused this apocalypse in this story in which gives nobody any hope is absolutely what everyone looked for in a survival horror. I say this is THE best survival horror shooter EVER MADE in HISTORY. Beating out Left 4 Dead and Resident Evil 4 etc. This game is groundbreaking, beautiful and realistic. The characters are absolutely realistic and it gets rid of the rhetoric of question in women in video gaming as you take over as Ellie in the second to last level. Joel is an absolute example of a man who has lost everything who had to fight to get back everything he had. This journey changed him as well as it did in Ellie.

    This also comes with the DLC Left Behind where you take over as Ellie. This is enhanced as well and also amazing as it ties with the story. It also brings in diversity and understanding. People will be mad at some of Ellie's incapabilities but you have to understand the reality of a young girl trying to survive in a situation such as the DLC and the second to last Chapter in the game. There is serious potential in the future for a more powerful Ellie as a playable character bringing in the diversity for those who desire it.

    You are getting a full experience for an emotional and realistic journey in post apocalyptic America in The Last Of Us: Remastered. You will not regret getting this copy!

    The game takes place in a post apocalyptic future where the world was taken over by a fungus that turns people into zombies and drove society to collapse, in this world we will accompany Joel a middle-aged man already hopeless of a better future that must lead Ellie A child who has in his blood the possibility of healing for the zombie plague for the fireflies a group that seeks to find a way to end the plague.

    The mechanics of the game boils down to three things: combat, stealth, and join resources that prove to be the hardest part of the game lack of features that makes you think its times before you shoot or engage in combat. But what makes The Last Of Us such a unique experience and its story and how Naughty Dog manages to build characters who can influence people's feelings by making a player really care about the characters in the plot.

    The Last Of Us has shown to the gaming industry that good characters can turn a cliché story when well told and with charisma of the characters can become a unique experience.

The performances of Ashley Johnson as Ellie and Troy Baker as Joel is career defining, giving wonderful moments both in physical and emotional moments as one progresses in the game. The combat is fun and a test of skill, luck and stealth that makes engagements dire and FUBAR on harder modes. The strangling of enemies is kind of loud and admittedly the AI is not really that smart on some things, but these are easily glossed over by the power the game has at telling a story and telling it well. Usually perfection is something out of grasp in things (games no different), but the ending is the very rare diamond gaming moment that deserves to be called perfect and nothing less.

    The Remastered edition comes with the Left Behind DLC, which tells a story of Ellie's past mixed with her present day self in a thoughtful and well done way that deserves alot of praise. It also has a commentary that is fascinating to watch and the updated visuals and framerates make the experience of the story truly spectacular. The downside is the multiplayer..sort of. The inclusion of multiplayers in the Uncharted games have always been an issue with me because it was a means to compete with Microsoft's Gears of War and as a player of both mps, Gears destroys Uncharted's mp. They just don't belong in the game (like they were tacked on) and just a way to get mp hungry players on its game, rather than enjoy its story and just that. The Last of Us has the strongest mp among the Uncharted series and contains its own meta game that is actually quite fun to play. Unfortunately, the mp has microtransactions (even weapons you can purchase that could be pay-to win) and I cannot let that slide, no matter how good the game is.

    If it ditched it's multiplayer, then the Last of Us would easily be a 10/10 for me without even a moment's thought, but I cannot do it and so a 9/10 will do. This is to say nothing of the game's power and focus of its campaign and it is an absolute must to buy this game if you have not bought it already or just got a PS4.

    In one word, it is a masterpiece in the video game history. If you still haven't played this game, do that.

    I'm not going to write usual information such as the history of the game, genre and so on. I'm going to describe emotions which the game can share with you. Because this game, first of all, is about emotions. Then it is about shooting, zombies, post-apocalypse.

    You won't be the main decision maker or a central person. Accept this idea and relax. You are a spectator. Of course, you will shoot, hide, craft, upgrade skills, fear and do one hundred typical adventure actions. But the core of the game-play is to watch how relations between Joel and Elie change and grow. And it is amazing. I think the developers specially made a choice for Elie's age as 13 years old. They have crossed out all potential questions about sexuality between heroes. It helps leave only a human layer without gender problems. A risky tactic in the 21 century with sexual pop culture.

    So, you will be an invisible part of the crew consisting of old cynical Joel and young cheeky Elie at the end of the times. And keep in mind, that zombies are a simple environment. The developers can change them to werewolves, vampires, aliens... It is not important, because all the stories in our lives are always about people. And you will understand that the most dangerous monster in a man. He is unpredictable, he kills for fun, he is smart and always lies.

    Anyway, I can promise, you are going to believe in Joel and Elie. They will take a place in your memories as real people. And you will love them.

    The general questions which the authors took as background for the game are who we are. What does make us humane? Does mankind have a chance for something bigger than we have now?

    PS. Most of the reviews of the game skip describing the soundtrack of the game. Author of it is Gustavo Santaolalla and he conveyed a strong and deep feeling of the world from Last of Us.

    Summary: One of the only games I consider a 10/10. An absolute masterpiece and best use of a video game to tell a story. A must play for any Naughty Dog fan.

    Full: After thinking long and hard about why this game was so effective and felt like a perfect experience, the answer is simply the word 'real'. The characters, the story, even the way enemies interact are the most realistic I have ever seen in a video game.
    The gameplay aspect individually is completely engrossing, you get so caught up in the survival elements that you are compelled to scavenge as much as possible for anything you can craft with or, if you are lucky, a couple bullets. You develop a combination of stealth and shooter elements to handle enemies because its the only way to survive. The game makes you completely feel like you are in the characters shoes. Add in the classic Naughty Dog seamless cutscene integration to keep things fresh and the game flies by while you are glued to this world.
    The story and characters are where this game really achieves something special. Escorting Ellie through enemy outposts and infected monsters can be fun, but if you can actually care about her survival the experience is nothing short of captivating. Your eyes open wide every cutscene where she falls down or where you get injured because you genuinely want the best for Joel and Ellie. Its hard to discuss the story much more without spoiling anything, but I doubt I will ever forget it.
    In terms of the remaster itself, its hard to imagine it looking or playing any better than it does. Well worth the upgrade to those who owned it on PS3 and will want to play it again and a must buy for anyone yet to play it.

    Rating Justification: I can't fault The Last of Us for anything. It knows what it wants to do and what the experience should feel like and achieves it flawlessly. This is the only 10/10 game I have played in almost a decade. I originally bought my PS4 so that I could play the remaster when it came out, and it was worth every penny.

    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.
