    The psychologic / philosophic elements of the Story are just amazing. It remembered me of a book from a German Philosopher (Richard David Precht - Die Kunst kein Egoist zu sein) which i've read some time ago.

    Great work! You can bet that i will order part II. But i think it will be hard to top it.    … Expand

    É impossível colocar defeitos nesse jogo, desde sua história, seus personagens, sua trilha-sonora, a gameplay, o mundo no geral. A maneira como tudo se desenvolve faz com que seja impossível parar de jogar. Um dos jogos mais belos da história que mudou completamente o mundo.

    What can I say about this game that hasn’t already been said? The graphics were phenomenal on the PS3 and they only look better on the PS4.

    The game is boring to madness. You can buy, but I do not advise !!! The plot is average. I don't understand why people love her so much! I think this game deserves 7/10! This is the most common game.

    Truly amazing, immersive, heart-breaking game. As you play, you find yourself in a foxhole with Joel and Ellie. Becoming brother to Joel, father to Ellie, you live and feel the emotions of this game. If you end this game without tearing up once, you aren't tough, you're just inhuman.

    This multiplayer mode is the main reason it was dropped down a few points.    … Expand

    Nerd Notes: I played this on a PS4 Pro using the framerate prioritisation mode, Standard Dualshock 4 controller, sitting a little over 8 feet from a 55” 1080p Samsung TV, for audio I used Bose AE2i Headphones, dynamic range setting was set as wide as possible for more immersion & I played on Normal difficulty.

    It’s 2020 and whilst I spend allot of time last year playing through all 5    Nerd Notes: I played this on a PS4 Pro using the framerate prioritisation mode, Standard Dualshock 4 controller, sitting a little over 8 feet from a 55” 1080p Samsung TV, for audio I used Bose AE2i Headphones, dynamic range setting was set as wide as possible for more immersion & I played on Normal difficulty.

    It’s 2020 and whilst I spend allot of time last year playing through all 5 Uncharted titles on PS4. I have never played The Last of us. Bars & expectations were exceedingly high for this 2013 masterpiece & If anything I was scared if this game was going to have aged well in 2020.
    Story: Just when it feels as though we’ve had every ‘zombie’ story, The Last of Us swings a mean right hook and hits you with a story that’s not only damn right brilliant.

    The main characters: Joel & Ellie performed by Troy Baker & Ashley Johnson are some of the most polished & interesting characters I’ve ever had the pleasure to game as, I don’t want to give much away so I won’t go into more detail. But Joel & Ellie are not the end of this story, the supporting characters as well as factions are so memorable & brilliantly executed, games in 2020 still don’t have it as good as this!

    As you traverse the world you come across notes which add a whole new dimension to the game, letting you know that there are far more survivors out there. In most games I find notes like these to add very little to the story, but in The Last of Us it just makes you appreciate how vast
    The story stands.

    The Last of us’ story sparks curiosity. Meaning not all stories are rounded off, it leaves you with questions, which is a good thing! So much media tries to round off every story told and sell it off as ‘fan service’ but I’m a big fan of how I would go to bed at night after playing The Last of Us and wondering what was going to happen, how something might have happened & what would it be like if this happened instead! That is a testament to how great this game’s story is, it sticks with you long after putting the controller down.

    Gameplay: I was surprised how well The Last of Us still plays, the shooting I found to be a little rickety at the start, but as you upgrade throughout the story shooting becomes allot more fluid (I’m also an arse when it comes to shooting generally, which doesn’t help).

    Resorsed such as ammo are limited in The Last of Us, but did find it frustrating that not all enemies (who definitely carried guns) seemingly had no ammo when taken down.. I could understand this in more hardcore difficulty settings, but felt it was a little ‘forced’ It did however force me to play differently, use different weapons, techniques etc. so it’s swings and roundabouts.

    I knew going in that there was allot of stealth involved but I was happy that should you get spotted it doesn’t alert every enemy to your location, you’re able to takedown and hide which was great! Something we still don’t see enough of in 2020!

    I enjoyed the puzzle solving, there was a tasteful amount, without running into puzzles left, right & centre.

    I mentioned earlier that The Last of Us sparks curiosity, this remains true in all aspects, every building you enter there is usually a good reward for going off the track to explore, I did allot of exploring and still have so much more to see & I cannot wait for my next playthrough!

    Graphics:

    You know what? Even by today’s standards… this is a very pretty game! The textures were tac sharp, shadows were crispy fresh & the animation was the stellar quality you expect from Naughty Dog!

    I had a few times where aliasing was a thing, but this was just a very inherent issue for the PS3/360 era of gaming so I can’t judge too harshly for that, plus if I had a higher resolution TV and used the favour resolution mode I’d suspect this would have been less noticeable.

    The game looks great, I really don’t know what else to say, It was ahead of it’s time visually when it released in 2013 and I think it’ll remain pretty timeless because everything is just so well done!

    Sound/Music: The music really glues the elements of this game together, it’s got this raw naturalistic, striped back & built up vibe which seamlessly fits into the world of The Last of Us.

    The sound design is very good! It goes for a more neutral stance, (Rant: I’m not a fan of games where someone is talking to you from the other side of the room & it sounds like they’re right in your earhole). However when characters are far away you hear the reverberation of the voice more than the direct source which really transports you to the environments you’re exploring!

    Conclusion: If for whatever reason you’ve not played The Last of Us, I recommend that you do!
    It’s on the ‘Playstation Hits’ so in the UK its around £15 and often goes on sale, it’s a game you definitely won’t want to miss out on.    … Expand

    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]
