    Of course this is a real masterpiece that everyone should play. A great story, the continuation of which we will see soon.

    I've never seen a world so beautifully destroyed. During the game we will be accompanied by incomparable music. It is visible that over characters long worked. They do not seem "cardboard" and empty. I believe Joel, I feel for Ellie. Like would simple the plot
    Of course this is a real masterpiece that everyone should play. A great story, the continuation of which we will see soon.

    I've never seen a world so beautifully destroyed. During the game we will be accompanied by incomparable music. It is visible that over characters long worked. They do not seem "cardboard" and empty. I believe Joel, I feel for Ellie. Like would simple the plot about how as two try to find answers and survive in a new world, but this the simplicity is full depth.

    You might wonder, " If you liked it, why only 7?" It's all about the combat component of this game. Any fighting skirmish is like a puzzle. You listen to enemies, study their movement, find a pattern and quietly kill. The main problem is that each battle scene is similar to the previous one, only the locations change. After 3-4 hours it gets boring. You will have to take breaks, otherwise because of the constant boredom you throw the game.

    Many may say that it is possible to arrange a shoot. The gameplay is not meant to be that you took an active plot. Ammunition is sorely lacking.

    Dialog writing is good, but the story is very cringe and the ending so predictable I actually accidentaly spoiled my wife by guessing what it would be. Infiltration gameplay is ok but the situations and enemies are very repetitive. Except for the graphics, I don't see where this game got its reputation.

    The Last of Us is an amazing video game rather you have it on the PlayStation 4, or PlayStation 3. The game is labelled a sub-genre called action-adventure survival horror which is a mouthful. It has a beautiful atmosphere, and visuals are great. The gameplay is fun, and fits with the setting. It has minor flaws like repeating a few puzzles, but that's nothing to bad.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game has one the most cliché stories I have ever seen: A guy has to get a girl somewhere because she is immune to the virus and can save humanity, oh boy have I heard that somewhere before, literally almost every zombie movie. The AI is braindead and Ellie wouldn't stop going near enemies basically ruining my stealth. The ending is bafflingly stupid, the graphics are not even that good. I just love the way everyone is giving awesome reviews when in reality I have more fun in Fallout 76 and that game is a cheap attempt to jump abord the cheap online FPS bandwagon. Expand

    The Last of Us is one of the answers to the question "why I bought ps4?".
    I had great expectations from this game. And they all came true.
    The best story. The best post-apocalyptic world. Beautiful soundtrack. Quite normal graphics, even for 2018. One of the best games of all time.

    A pleasant game.

    Definitly one of the GOTG of the 7th generation, but it feel a bit outdated these day (just my opinion).
    I still had a great time, the story is pretty solid with gorgeous graphics on the PS4 Pro.

    I recommand anyone to play it with the "Playstation Hit" collection (and its price).

    Probably one of the most over rated games of all time. It's got good voice acting, but the storlyline was fairly mediocre. Visually it's nice, but the controls are clunky sometimes.

    9.1?... Yeah, no.

    Without a doubt, the best game I have ever played on console, it crazy that Naughty Dog went from Crash Badicoot (which I absolutely adored as a child) to such a real life heart thumping amazingly created game inside and out.

I cannot wait until the second one, and I am 95% sure it will live up to the first one. Expand

    I have just finished the game,
    Analyzing the title I can say that ...
    Graphics:
    On Ps4 it behaves really well, never had a problem or a bug, very stable frame rate, breathtaking views and spectacular animations.
    Sound:
    amazing soundtrack and general sound perfectly performed.
    History and gameplay:
    beautiful and charming
    Great Game.

I was 16 years old at the time of release (June 2013 on PS3) and I've never played a videogame before that is so riveting, emotional moving and so relatable in many ways. The journey of Joel and Ellie is brutal, violent, hopeless and yet so beautiful. The love between these two characters and the relationship that is developing throughout the game is the centerpiece of the experience. You can easily put yourself in Ellie and Joel's shoes, because every action they make is understandable and relatable. I can't wait to play the continuation of Ellie and Joel's journey!! Thank you Naughty Dog for creating this world and these unforgettable characters! The PS4 version is the best way to experience this masterpiece! Expand

    The Last of Us is easily one of the greatest games of all time if not the greatest. This game is pure art and will go down as a classic.

The characters here are written so well and made so honest and sincere. I do not want to describe much of the character growth to avoid spoilers, but i must say this game will make you forget everything and you will feel like Joel and Ellie are actual human beings. The plot behind the game is a basic standard zombie story but done in a unique way. The way you see how humans behave in this game after the apocalypse says a lot about human behavior and what people are really like. The original soundtrack is beautiful and gives you chills every-time you hear it. The game play is perfect as well mixing Shooting, crafting, and a lot of patience and thinking. The enemy encounters are switched up with humans and clickers and runners and perhaps the clickers. The game is intense and nerve racking and will frustrate you and actually make you fearful. All wrapped up in quite moments with Joel and Ellie doing simple tasks with real human dialog. This game is a masterpiece and i recommend it to anyone. Expand

    Full of scripted cheating BS that forces you into stupid insane avoidable situations. Oh and the combat is so unrefined to the point of jank. What is with the slow cumbersome wobbly aim of a geriatric in a care home. So like have the developers really ever picked up a bow/pistol/rifle and shot one ffs? Melee that glitches out with really shoddy camera angles.

    Seriously NFW Joel should be dead round about the horse section, but no spoilers, so... I liked the Joel character enough, but Ellie the swearing edgy mary sue teen character not so much. Another teen character is in the game and I was convinced that they was just a teen not going on forty like Ellie. Hyped game, scripted idiocy, unconvincing character development on the Ellie part, shoddy gameplay mechanics.

    It is meh gameplay to ok story, but nothing really at all special. If this got two hundred noted gaming awards? Then the era of the dedicated gamer is over and now it is the rein of the casual media consumer.

    The plot is intriguing while not being cheesy and there are small twists at the right times. Even the longest chapters do not feel tedious and there is no sense of fillers being added just for the sake of extending game time.

    The ending was a good conclusion to the tale, and gives a good sense of closure.

    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.
