    Never played The Last of Us on PS3, and it's probably one of the best games in PS4 despite being a remake. Excellent story (10), very good graphics (really good work in the remake)(10), and a gameplay that may seem a bit old (previous generation old), its really fun and challenging without being frustrating (9).

    For me, the best game I have ever played, and I have played a lot (yes, even Ocarina); I will give it a 10/10 because it deserves it, and because of all the unfair 0.

    Best Naughty Dog game so far.

    Great story, intense, ambientation is amazing...

    On the negative side: Little or not room for character personalization & progression (in terms of habilities, leveling up weapons, etc.). Little room for exploration too (the game is linear).

    In general, a very good experience and very worth playing

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Survival gameplay. (Crafting, limited supplies, stealth)
    Setting and world-building are both fantastic and very immersive.
    Strong characters and voice acting.
    Story and Storytelling are expertly done through many means but one of my favourites is the use of multiple playable characters at poignant moments to emphasise what the character is feeling and put the player in their shoes.
    Technical masterpiece especially considering the hardware it released on.
    The weapons feel great.

    Joel should move faster. His animations, on the whole, are a little slow and clunky feeling in the pursuit of realism. This is only a problem once you lose stealth and a fight breaks out. The feeling of having multiple enemies from different directions often feels overwhelming because of his slower movement in combat.

    AI companions can break immersion by not being detected when they move poorly and sometimes feel as if they get in the way but is counteracted by how awesome it feels when Ellie does genuinely help you out in a fight and it beats the alternative of having them get spotted by enemy AI when their pathing is bad. Something I hope improves if there are AI companions in The Last Of Us Part II is the AI's pathing when following the player. This would fix the minor immersion problem present here.    … Expand

    The weak point of the game is the gameplay, it is completely forgettable. And it's not that the mechanics are broken, the problem is that it is structured in a way that it feels like a small part of the game, the story always has the focus of the devs, it feels like you're "playing" episodes of a TV show. By the end of the game, when the story has already hooked you up, playing feels like a sort of "work" just to see the story moving forward.

    I STRONGLY recommend not buying it; just borrow it, or use PSNow. It's the kind of game that after playing it one single time, you'll never touch it again. The game lives from its story and after knowing it, it loses absolutely all appeal.    … Expand

    By far my all time favourite game. Closest to perfection I have ever seen, and this is coming from a guy who loves to criticize games. The story, the characters, the gameplay, the music... I don't think I would change anything. This game is definitely a playstation classic and should be on anyone's console who loves immersive storytelling and brilliant gameplay.

    I had been interested in checking out this game since it first came out, but I only got my first Playstation ever a few weeks ago, so I had no way to do so until recently, and, well, I'm a little disappointed.

    Don't get me wrong, the things people praise about this game are every bit as good as I'd heard, this game has excellent writing and voice acting, Ellie and Joel's relationship is edifying to watch unfold and to discuss, but there's just something that's "missing" in the link between storytelling and gameplay mechanics that's difficult for me to get over.

    When I say there's something "missing," what I mean to say, is there's no connection between storytelling and gameplay at all. This game is like a Skinner box, but with a bunch of extra steps. You go through an area with some very light, often times tedious puzzle solving that usually boils down to "find the thing and move the thing that lets you jump over the other thing," or "find the thing that lets you open the thing," interspersed with a ton of moments comprised of "kill every dude in the area who isn't you," before you're rewarded with another cutscene, and I can't count how many times I found myself disappointed the minute a cutscene ended and the gameplay began, because it meant another solid 30-60 minutes of trudging through not particularly great gameplay to get rewarded with another cutscene.

    That brings me to my second major issue with this game: the gameplay, on its own, really just isn't that good. As I mentioned earlier, it is almost entirely broken up into two kinds of sequences, 1) wandering around a small area to find the thing that let's you get past the obstacle, or 2) killing every dude on the map who isn't you, and that's it. It's interspersed with some exciting moments, like a moment where you're trying to push start a truck while finding off clickers, or a moment where you're defending Ellie from Clickers while she tries to free you from a trap that has you suspended upside-down, but these moments are few and far between gameplay that is, overall, bog standard, and does absolutely nothing to enhance the narrative through its mechanics, you simply just do a few objectives using mechanics that have little to with the narrative, so you can be rewarded with some new cutscenes, and that's about it. And all of that doesn't even get into the dozens of odd moments where the gameplay and story are completely at odds with each other in quite baffling ways. For example, there's a scene where a dude is on top of you trying to drown you, and then Ellie shoots him to save you, then later in the game, there's a moment where Joel is rationalizing her action to save you, telling her not to worry about the fact that she just killed a man, since it was either "him or me [Joel]," but it makes absolutely no sense that Joel would need to cauterize that one particular action in that one particular moment, considering the fact that Ellie has already helped you kill well over twenty people in the gameplay, which just reinforces the fact that the gameplay and story departments working on this game had little to no crossover with each other. The narrative tells you one story, about Ellie losing her innocence to a harsh, unforgiving world, but in the gameplay, there's no resistance or struggle or pushback at all to Joel killing scores and scores of nameless, faceless, storyless dudes all for the sake of advancing to the next cutscene.

    All and all, The Last of Us is a real shame, because the acting and writing are truly very good, but the narrative just gets put on hold during gameplay sequences that have barely have anything to do with the narrative, and do nothing at all to enhance the narrative, and I find it disappointing that what has been almost universally lauded as one of the greatest video games ever made has a story that does nothing to take advantage of the fact that it is an interactive medium and capable of telling you a story through mechanical interactions.

    I'm not going to call this game "overrated" because I do truly understand why this game emotionally resonated with so many people, but I'm still disappointed all the same and I really wish I had loved this game more than I did.    … Expand

    In short, an absolute masterpiece. The universal acclaim heaped upon this game is certainly justified, as the game that defined the PS3 at the end of it's lifecycle is almost certainly going to go down as one of the greatest games on the PS4 also.

    The story is superb, with some of my favourite characters in all of gaming. Naughty Dog is in a class of their own when it comes to crafting a narrative over the length of an entire campaign, even surpassing the mighty Rockstar. This story can take you through touching moments, harrowing and terrifying moments, along with some instances of humour to provide some levity; and the fact that you are gripped from start to finish really speaks volumes to the level of storytelling on display here. You will love these characters and be fully invested in their struggles and goals.

    The graphics were excellent even on PS3, however the visuals have been given the next-gen treatment here to fully realise what I'm sure was the original vision all along. The fact that these visuals still hold up to the best the PS4 can offer show how masterful Naughty Dog are.

    Gameplay-wise, everything is smooth and deliberate, with a real weight and grounding in realism, which stops the dreaded floaty feel some games can suffer from, which for me really pulls you out of the experience, and ruined games such as The Witcher 3, for example. Combat is heavy and hard hitting, very in tone with the dark, gritty world The Last of Us is built around.

    This is my absolute favourite game of all time, and I cannot in any way recommend it enough. If you haven't played it yet, do it now. Especially at the price you can find it for now. Simply put, if you are even remotely interested in gaming, this is THE game to experience the absolute best this medium has to offer. The Last of Us Part 2 has a strong act to follow.    … Expand

    Good looking game with a fairly intimate, character driven story set in a redundant post-apocalypse that gets off to an interesting start.

Although it gives the appearance of a    Good looking game with a fairly intimate, character driven story set in a redundant post-apocalypse that gets off to an interesting start.

    The gameplay becomes repetitive fast, and ranges from boring to tedious; ultimately boiling down to extreme resource management, guess-work, and stealth, with occasional quicktime events and cut-scenes.

    Although it gives the appearance of a realistic open environment, it is actually extremely linear. You are almost always forced through strict, unintuitive corridors with only one way to progress.

    There are dozens of obvious openings, walk-arounds, things to climb, and paths in the environment that should be easy to traverse, which are blocked by invisible walls.

    The girl can't swim, so go get the inevitable wooden plank hidden around the corner and bring it back for her to cross. Ad nauseam.

    The AI is completely ridiculous and often immersion-breaking. The two generic enemy types --humans and clickers-- both just walk aimlessly around the environment in patterns akin to the 8-bit era, apparently doing nothing at all in totally random locations -- that happen to perfectly block your only path.

    What is intended to build tension ends up feeling forced and frustrating.

    What little action there is is hampered by archaic mechanics, and brazenly unimaginative enemy difficulty scaling. For example, if the same enemy you've encountered dozens of times suddenly happens to be wearing a generic construction hardhat, they will take two or three extra shots, no matter where you hit them. Even if you clearly shoot them in the face. There is no acknowledgement of accuracy, each enemy is just one giant hit-box, so there is essentially no point in aiming, very unsatisfying.

    The gameplay is so stale that comparisons to The Walking Dead tv show are inescapable and likely to leave players wondering why they're even bothering with the under-utilized Dual Shock controller instead of just watching another so-so zombie tale.

    For a AAA title, it is easy to appreciate some of the risks this game takes, focusing on character arcs, mood, storytelling, and an attempted sense of immersion in a bleak, realistic world; unfortunately it is hard to ignore the weak gameplay which undermines its loftier intentions.

    The Last of Us actually makes much more sense in its TellTale Games spinoff interactive comic format. On the PS4, remastered, it is barely a step above interactive movie, and not significantly improved from its original PS3 release.

    Not bad, but not much fun to play. Extremely overrated.    … 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.
