    Questo gioco è un miracolo! nel 2013 così veniva definito, un miracolo, non era quasi possibile fare un gioco con una grafica del genere sulla playstation 3, gameplay fatto bene e trama da film!

    For me this is the best game ever made. Story and character development is perfect in this one.

    Top Game. And for PS4 is a Must! Remastered in 1080p and 60 fps. Naughty dog is the best software house for SONY PS exclusives.

    The last of us is okay. It's not too great and I don't feel this can be one of the best games ever made. Most of the missions were repetitive with stealth kills and the range of weapons was quite limited. The graphics were good but not great. The combat system is pretty limited too and there isn't a lot for crafting. The relational development Joel and Ellie was good but I didn't find itThe last of us is okay.

Overall, I truly feel it's way over hyped and there are so many games better than this game in terms of graphics, combat system, loot, crafting etc. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A pleasant adventure that resembles a lighter version of the movie The Road. The relationship between Ellie and Joel is very well shown and their gradual strengthening of the relationship between each other is felt. The gameplay is very interesting, but the study of locations could be much better implemented. As for me, there is not enough of the oppressive atmosphere that is usually inherent in this genre. But for the interesting characters and the basic idea of a road adventure in the circle of the green zombie apocalypse, I can only thank Naughty Dog. The finale leaves with lumps in my throat and I really liked that I, as a player, were not given a choice at this moment, it should have been Joel’s decision, I’m just an outside observer. Expand

This is the only game I feel comfortable calling a masterpiece. Almost every aspect of it is flawless. A masterful story worthy to be a movie/show, and what do you know, they are making a show. The only mild "complaints" of mine are the pacing in the first half of Pittsburgh and the repetitive ladder/plank puzzles. Not to mention phantasmagorical graphics, gameplay, voice acting, mocap, etc.

    TL;DR: A masterpiece that *just* misses out on being flawless because of some minor pacing and repetitiveness issues.

    If I had one complaint it would be some of the puzzles near the end definitely felt like they were trying to extend the game as much a they could. But other than that it's pretty phenomenal.

    This game is a love letter to survival horror. Naughty Dog, hats off on this 1 of the many awesome projects you have accomplished. The sequel is a stubborn choice which is being trashed by the loyal fans of this title. Please take note and get back to doing what you do best, making great games.

    Has a very straight froward story on paper. But its entirely built on the characters. Wonderfully, fleshed out and believable characters. Great story in practice, but the game play is overall lacking. But the story covers most of the cracks and honestly, its good enough. The dialogue alone is worth playing this game.

    Masterpiece, plan and simple. The graphics still hold up and we’re outstanding for the time. Gameplay is amazing, but it’s the story of Joel and Ellie is where the game really shines. Plus it hits you with an ending that sticks with you for a long time

    I tried playing the Last of Us at least 3 times and every time I just got bored of it and didn't feel compelled to keep playing. The game mechanics and inventory system felt clunky and not intuitive. The graphics were decent. The AI seemed average. I cant believe this game was rated 10's by so many people.

Only reason why is it seems it's living off the reputation of Naughty Dog and the cinematic experience of the game. As much as I love cinematic games, if the gameplay isn't there, it feels lackluster as a game. I just couldn't love this game the way others did. Expand

    Perhaps the best story I've experienced in video game. I really got emotionally invested.

    Gameplay was very good, but nothing special. Too linear for my taste.

    Absolutely beautiful game. Immersive and compelling story, interesting, lovable characters and engaging gameplay for the time. It is a story-driven game and some people might find the pacing slow, though that wasn't the case for me.

    Grade S+ atmosphere with unbelievably brutal, grounded and realistic gore. It is unforgiving and dark, yet around every corner hides a hint of hope. The story is simple but well told and flawlessly executed. It sucks you into the experience, leaving you emotionally impacted well after the game is finished. It's all complimented by the best soundtrack in all of gaming history; period.

    Addicting and incredibly well balanced multiplayer experience, in my opinion even the best of this and the last generation. With 60 frames per second, resolution and HDR options, this title becomes and instant standalone-classic, even if it is 'only' a remaster of a ps3 game.

    Verdict: My favourite video game of all time; nothing compares to it.

    By far my favorite game ever. The game play was so amazing. You really felt something for these characters. The graphics were stunning and the story line was great.

    Side note, the multiplayer was also super fun. A bit under developed but is a hidden gem for sure!

    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]
