    I've always believed "nothings perfect," then I played this game. The Last of Us is, at its core, a simple story/narrative told flawlessly. The story is about the relationship between Joel and Ellie which is developed flawlessly and at a perfect pace through well-timed story beats, relatable dialogue, environmental storytelling, and even combat. Moments of darkness are offset by momentsI've always believed "nothings perfect," then I played this game. The Last of Us is, at its core, a simple story/narrative told flawlessly. The story is about the relationship between Joel and Ellie which is developed flawlessly and at a perfect pace through well-timed story beats, relatable dialogue, environmental storytelling, and even combat. Moments of darkness are offset by moments of light, both that contribute to the narrative. Every single side character Joel and Ellie come across strengthens their personal motivations, their bond, all while having a believable arc of their own. Combat fits the world perfectly, and Ellie's scrappiness is conveyed perfectly through how she develops during combat sequences. The development of Joel and Ellie's father/surrogate daughter relationship feels very real, relatable, and honest, and the ending will have you asking yourself morally complex questions. This is the greatest story ever told by video games, T.V shows, and even movies. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Yes I know this review is seven years late but for a completely unrelated reason I thought I'd bob over here and post one. The game isn't complex (Start here, go there, stay alive), it's certainly not original (every bodies dead, two people meet, bad situation, bond), the game isn't long (can be done in two numb bums), seriously it's all been done before! It's even got glitches.

    What makes this one of the all time classics though is just how well every little insignificant moment keeps you invested. The charisma of the characters draws you in and every tidbit of new dialogue pulls you further in to the story. The environmental storytelling is well worth mentioning, I really felt for Ish and he's not even in the game! By design or possibly mistake the momentum and timing is kept just right to instantly sweep you up and keep you going throughout your entire play-through.

    Your invested in these characters every step of the way, so when something threatens them your going to do something about it. When they are separated you are going to bring them back together. When they are on their own your going to keep them safe. It's truly beautiful just how much you get to know and love your characters and personally feel what they are going through.

    I found I got more enjoyment out of the game the harder the difficulty. This isn't a shooter and it isn't a stealth game, it's an 'Oh my god we're going to die, do something!' kind of game. If you have enough ammo and resources are plentiful your on the wrong difficulty setting, trust me. Play the game as a coward, run away from hunters, avoid infected and scavenge like a hoarder.

    Combat can only be described as meaty, there's no glory in it, you only ever fight to stay alive. It's basic and it's brutal, exactly how it should be. Joel and Ellie swing wildly, shoot blindly and run for their lives most the time. You'll hear Ellie say that was intense on more than one occasion, you'll agree.

    I am of course making this review at a time when a lot of discussion is taking place about a game closely modelled on this one. I bought the original version on PS3, I bought the remaster same day as my PS4, it's seven years later and I'm still playing it. It's a powerful game and one I advise you to play yourself. If you do beat it, get it on Grounded mode for the replay, leave your R1 button alone.

    I’ve played a lot of awesome games since I got a PS4 in 2015. But this game really stands out as one the best games available on PS4 and one of my favourite games of all time. The brilliant character development and awesome mechanics and graphics really make this game incredible. The unique twist on the zombie outbreak story really makes it memorable.

But this game really stands out as one the best games available on PS4 and one of my favourite games of all time. The brilliant character development and awesome mechanics and graphics really make this game incredible. The unique twist on the zombie outbreak story really makes it memorable. Fighting mechanics work really well with pretty good AI which provides a good challenge. One of my few complaints with the game is the lack of ammunition which becomes very apparent in very close situations when using a gun could save you, however this adds a big challenge to gunfights and more realism to the setting of the game. Overall however, this game is one of the best of all time and highly recommend it to anyone who is searching for a new, unique game which Is unlike any other zombie game out there. Especially with the release of the PS5 soon, now is the best time to play it before you leave your PS4 in the attic and forget about it. Expand

    Easily one of the best games I’ve ever played. The exploration and gameplay is great, but even better is the story. These characters feel real and the ending leaves you feeling conflicted in the best way possible.

    It was my best experience in my whole life but I have to tell you that the second game even is better than the first one. And now part 2 is my best experience ever . If this game is a masterpiece the second game is something higher than game and that is the best game in history

    This game was the best of PS3, and the remastered for PS4 is even better than many AAA games for that console.

    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]
